Congratulations @jnr005 and thank you @MyPetChicken@MyPetChicken Thank you for such a fantastic donation here and all the other HAL contests as well!
i would do the float test, what was humidity at for hatching?Hi all!! Hope you don't mind me jumping into this thread with my hatching woes.
Started with 24 Ameraucana eggs that I bought from a local breeder and 5 mixed of our own. Ours did not fair well and I pulled them early. Most of the others seemed to be developing so I left them in the bator. (Styro, circ air, turner)
Day 22 one started to hatch and has been struggling for 72 hours. Helped her finish unzipping around 3 AM ( hope you all can identify) and she is out but not yet walking. Here's hoping she makes it.
All the rest are showing no activity. Candled them all last night (day 25) and I see some fully developed ones. Started to pull the ones that were obviously gone and do post mortems. I am seeing some that look like they died about the second week but I found one that was fully developed and positioned well and died anyway.
That freaked me out so I left the rest in thinking maybe there is still a chance for some of the rest. Am I dreaming? How long should I wait?
Thanks for any help in advance!!

Usually you try to have your humidity between 30-35% for incubating LF eggs but also keep and eye on the aircells and adjust humidity accordingly.Hum average 40-45. Even at that the air cells seemed a little small. Since in the hatcher fluctuating between 60 to 65. Temp was pretty steady at 99.5 to 100F. Had one drop to 98 deg for no more than a few hours one day the day after we moved them to the hatcher. I set in to 100 after that and stayed between 99.5 and 100.
