It was definitely a humidity issue. I have found that if my humidity is WAY off, then the chicks tend to become "weak". Even if I raise it to an acceptable level, the chicks won't hatch. If you force hatch a chick that has a dry...

If they never internally pipped, it does sound like drowning caused by too high humidity. But I can't be sure... It sounds like your humidity was fine throughout incubation... So I have no idea...

Incubate at 99.5 degrees. On the 18th day, stop turning and add water to the incubator base. (buy a hygrometer for accuracy)Store eggs at room temp in a dark area. Turn 1-2 times daily while storingJust scoop up the eggs and bring them...

Most people are completely clueless, and in an economical collapse or a market collapse, A LOT of people would die. I'm 20. I taught my stepfather, biological father, and countless other people how to process a chicken. They didn't know....

Aw. I'm sorry to hear this. When buying online, it's always a gamble, unless you've had experience or personally know someone who has...
