Incubation went wrong

[Igorbilbao]

Hi there,
Today (day 25) I gave up and opened the eggs that didn’t hatch, (only 1/8 hatched). 3 died early, and then 4 were fully developed. I decided to open them because i saw no movement in the last 12 hours. Could I have killed them? On the other side yesterday I posted another question and people told me it was probably a humidity problem, is that it? (chicken eggs)
Thank you

I'm very sorry about your eggs, had a similar problem myself recently.

I'm not an expert compared to lots of people here, but It was probably a humidity problem, though likely not your fault. were you going by the incubator's humidity check or did you have a separate one?

How is the chick? Are you able to find it some friends maybe?

The chick is at my brothers farm, but I don’t think he has chicks his age,. I didn’t have nothing to measure the humidity, I followed the incubator instructions of putting water the first day, then when the water was low add morr, and more the last days, but I saw a lot of condesation, so I suppose the humidity was pretty high. I just bought a hygrometer on amazon, so if humidity was the problem next time it should be a successful hatch.
Thank you for answering

You are welcome, sounds like you did your best. Good luck for next time. I'm sorry about the chick and hope it doesn't grow up lonely-- is it possible to purchase a coulpe of similia chicks at a local feed store?

I don’t think we can buy newborn chicks here. What will happen to the chick if it grows by itself??

It could get very lonely and stressed. It has no mother, and I'm presuming no company?

No Im from Spain, and stressed means like he will die or something like that?

What breed, do you know if it's a 'he'?

I don't know if he'll die, but *he* could be extremely lonely as *he* has no mamma to teach him either. Can you/ your brother spend time with *him*?

I don’t know if is he or she, automatically I say he because it sounds better than it. I will talk to my brother. Thank you
