There are many reasons as to why your eggs are not hatching in Pokémon Go. Some factors that contribute to this issue include the following:

Delays occur between incubation, levelling up, and egg hatching. This is a major challenge affecting your egg hatching process, and it is mostly brought about by an unstable Internet connection.
Walking too fast or too slowly during the egg hatching process. This may prevent your eggs from hatching. This is because when you walk too fast or too slowly at the optimal speed, which is 6.5 miles per hour, Pokémon Go will not be able to track your steps.
Poor or unstable Internet connection. If your Internet connection is not strong enough, Pokémon Go will not be able to track your hatching progress; hence, your eggs will not hatch.
Not covering the required walking distance. If you don’t cover the required walking distance, your egg will not hatch 🙁.

Here is a table showing the required distance to hatch different Pokémon eggs.

Egg distance	Pokémon Hatched
2km	Common Pokémon
5km	Uncommon Pokémon
7km	Alolan Pokémon
10km	Rare Pokémon
12km	Strange Pokémon

There are several tricks that you can use to hatch your eggs in Pokémon Go. Firstly, since you are required to cover a certain distance for your egg to hatch, you can use a drone to do so.

All you need to do is fix your phone on a working drone and play Pokémon Go. This will cover the required distance but do not forget to keep the speed to a minimum.

You can also use your bike or skateboard to do the same😊.
