Any help here would be appreciated.....I am pretty new to trying to hatch these things and I just would like to know if I am overlooking something here. From what I have read on here through a lot of posts I thought I was right on track for a good hatch but it just didn't work.
I have a LG still air incubator without a fan or egg turner. I collected eggs for 4 days and stored them in an appropriate room until incubation. I marked the eggs, rotated them twice a day until the last three days of the hatch. Temp showed to stay at 99.5 through the hatch and the humidity stayed 40-45% for the first 18 days. I tried a lot of suggestions that I read in this forum to increase the humidity to 60-65% for the last days but it never got over 55%.
After the 26th day I cracked them all open and half of them just looked like a normal egg. About half looked like they tried to develop a little (I do not know what its supposed to look like but it definitely did not look close to a chick). I am collecting eggs again am going to try this again soon, any thoughts here???
