I'm posting for a friend. She has chicks that are currently hatching. Two have already made it out of the eggs no problem, but another 2 pipped, then died. Any ideas why? Her humidity is at 70%, checked with a calibrated thermometer. Temperature is 99.5. She's using a NR360 incubator, and has had impeccable hatch rates in the past. She said the two that died had yellowish fluid coming from the pips, ideas? Her humidity was at 50% during the incubation, could it have been to high? These eggs also weren't in a normal turner. All had ruptured air cells, so they were incubated upright in an egg carton. Could that be the problem? Could the ruptured air cells have been full of fluid, causing them to drown? There are still eggs left to hatch, no pips yet. She's going to candle them now.
Thanks for any suggestions! I hope the rest can get out okay.
