    first off do you have them in an incubator? and why are you not sure if the eggs have moved since then? And third its not an exact time table. Its a rough estimate to give you a better guess. And yes it may be the temperature or the humidity or they might not be fertile. Give them another week or you can candle the eggs to see if they are fertile.

    The incubation process & hatching stays pretty regular with a given frame work, at the same time it is not always clock work accurate,remember you have the whole of the 21st day & it may well take a liitle over,even an extra day is possible. Patience will payoff,if you are sure they are alive,they cannot help but break through their shells.Any time now !
