Should I float test?

1 quarter horse, 1 tuxedo cat, 1 siberian hamsters, 3 dogs, 1 hermit crab, 7 freshwater fish, 5 Brahma chickens, 2 showgirl chickens, 9 silkies, 7production chickens, 12 to be determined bantam chicks, 2 pekin ducks and 1 swedish duck....I should hatch a partridge for the pear tree to round it off.

First circled around bowl (floating). wiggling and rocking not so much.

 

The others nothing. no wiggle, no rocking, and no floating circle around the bowl.

 

They all float with only a dime to nickel size amount out of the water.

 

Now what?

From the reading I have done on here about float testing eggs it sounds like everything is going great!! Maybe just wait a little longer... I know it is hard I am on day 21 and got my first pip but the other eggs are doing nothing... It's killing me!! Here's to a good hatch!big_smile.png

One has an odor & the others you can't smell anything.

Well if you took them out to float test then I'm assuming you candled...if so, did you see any movement or little beaks in the air cell?

Your hatch is likely over.  A dud hatch is such a bummer.

Believe me I have been there.  It is a bummer but don't let it get you down.  Just get some more eggs asap.  That always cured me when I was bummed about a dud hatch.  

Now I get to hatch eggs from my own chickens and those eggs are a lot easier to hatch.

Thank you all for your help.  Unfortunately, they did not make.
