Now I'm scared.

Nothing to be scared about..just stuff to be aware of. Stuff happens, as they say. Even the most careful of hatchers, who do everything the same time after time has problems every once in awhile. It sucks big time, but it happens.
 
How many days has it been? Sometimes at day 7 I don't see much and on a few times have broken open eggs and there was something in there. It was hard to see because of the yolk. I don't do anything until day 12 and up.

I just candled about 2 hours or so ago and theres some where you can see the chick's eye an it doesnt move at all an there is almost no vessels, some where there is a blood ring and no vessels and one with a small blood mass an no vessels... I only found life in 3 or 4 of the eggs (I lost count in all of the losses)
I really dont understand what happened... everything is the same as last hatch!!

Temps havent gone over 101.5 (still air) the entire time.. an I cleaned it really good 2 days before the eggs came.. Maybe temps spiked when I wasnt looking or I didnt clean good enough... Oh well I'll be happy to get the 3 or 4 that are living! I think its either 2 Thaddeus an 2 Amadeus or 3 Thaddeus an 1 Amadeus.. either way I have some Thaddeus which I can always pair up with someone else an still get Silkied! not all hope it lost I guess

One thermometer was reading 97.6, the other 101?????

The average is 99.3, so I took one thermometer out so that I wouldn't go CRAZY.

As long as the one left in stays stable I'll feel good.

Still air or forced air?

And yes, I don't toss till much later.

It has a fan. I left the thermometer in that I tested with earlier
in the week, it ran right around 100. So that is the one I think
is accurate. it's hovering right at 100 now. The other is a digital
thermometer and I have no idea how accurate it is. And I
would never toss eggs! I'm a premie baby nurse and we don't
give up on any babies!
