The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

[Jessimom]

It usually takes two or three days.

I would put it back on for a day or so. It is easily fixed now but cannot be fixed later.

Ok thanks!!

Ducks decided they didn't want to hatch on the same day as the chickens. 3 ducks have pipped!!

I had 18 in the incubator none hatched this is my first time and I am so disappointed.

I still only have 1 chick out of the 3 eggs. The one that started to hatch quit and i just checked no movement, when I picked the egg it was coming out back first. the other egg nothing yet, i'm tempted to candle.

Had you calibrated thermometers and hygrometers? you know temps need to be run higher for a model without a fan and never run under 99.5 with a fan? You understand humidity is not a set number its a tool to get the correct weight loss?

Sorry for the poor results. Did you open any of the eggs to try to determine why?
I had the same results with the New Years Hal, some were infertile, some were DIS, and some shrink wrapped.
We had frigid cold when I collected them, and I had temp spikes in my bator.
It happens unfortunately.
