Incubator temp too low?

I would wait it out a little longer. It is stressful I know! From my calc you are only on day 24, I have had late ones from a normal hatch at that point so I would sit tight a few more days to give them every chance before trying anything that might harm them. Sounds promising that they hav3 developed.

Okay thank you so much, it's just like I want to pull my hair out I keep checking for a pip and nothing. It's kind of bumming me out honestly.

Thank you ever so very much for this information,
I really appreciate it. I do sincerely apologize for cutting in on this person's thread it's just that I haven't had a whole lot of success for incubation and I thought it was my incubator. Now I realize it was me

Thanks for helping me get that squared away, I'll write the information you gave me down. .I'm kind of mad at myself for not joining this wonderful site and getting the answer sooner. I have a Circulated Air Incubator with a built in Humidity level reader and a temp reader as well. So thank you ever so very much!! Hopefully when I incubate my eggs in spring it'll be a lot better.

You're very welcome! It also would be good to put in an extra thermometer and humidity reader and calibrate the one you have, as often the incubator's LCD is not accurate. Hope you get better hatches in the future!

@incubateme At this point I would candle the eggs and if there is no internal pip/movement/peeping open them. I'm going to have to say they are most likely dead, but there is a little hope.

I opened them today and they were fully developed but had died. I have a new incubator but the piece of s**ts temp and humidity readings are all out of whack. Even when I calibrate them.

Hi all my incubator temp has been at 36.6 for the past 3 weeks, I just found this out. It's days 23 and still not even popping. Will my eggs still hatch?
Thanks

When it comes to temps I don’t know. My incubator says 99. I placed 2 thermometers inside and they say 95. And my hatch rate averages around 85% with all healthy and strong chicks. Since it is working for me I won’t change it but the temp thing is not making much sense to me.
