How much longer?

My East. Milk laid 9 eggs on July 25th, now only 2 are alive. So far they have been kept at 83 degrees. How much longer until they hatch? Since the others all died, are the last 2 destined to die too?

It usually takes around 60 days when incubated at 80 degrees.
The 2 remaining eggs could be fertile. If they are by now you should be able to see veins if you "candle" them. In a dark room shine a flashlight up to the eggs about zero to one centimeter away from the surface, lighting the interior of the egg. I'll try to post a picture of a candled egg tonight or tommorrow.
