Hatching
So today is day 22 and I have had zero success with two groups of eggs due to human error I believe. Anyways, today I still haven't seen any sign of life in the eggs since I last candled them on day 18, so I decided to do a float test and all 4 of the eggs sank to the bottom. Rather than discarding them I candled them to trace the air sac, then I carefully removed the shell covering that portion of the egg, trying not to rupture the membrane. I rubbed aquaphor on the membrane to moisten and make transparent, and found two of them to be a dark brownish color and smelled horrible. They were clearly rotten! But the other two looked as if there was a little movement, so instead of placing it back into the styrofoam incubator, I placed it into the new incubator which is far better at holding consistent tempurature and humidity. So after about 2 or 3 minutes in the incubator, they both started to move like crazy within the membrane. The veins and still big and there seems to be fluid inside. Is there still hope for them?
