Are you sure nothing in the coop could be hurting them? Mites, critters ect? Or what I do when my youngsters do that is block them in the coop a couple nights atthe same time. They catch on. If they are a breed like sikies or cochins they might not like to go "up". I had that problem with...
My hubby is making these if anyone in the area is interested!

I have had alot of hits and misses with my hatching and I have found that kepping it around 60% then the last 3 days about 85%. If you can't get it high enough by just adding water to your trays then take a spray bottle w/warm water and lightly mist around your incubator, not the eggs though.
I had a great hatch March 21st. These are some of Sarahs Sizzles. I am overcome with CUTE!
This one hatched in my hand! (I don't recommend this!, it was only done due him sticking to the membrane!)
Well I only got the one chick. I was so sad I cried, I know I'm a baby. I really don't know how they all died but now I have one lonely chicky.
Chickenzoo I would like to get some more eggs and try again.
Ok today is the day they shuld be hatching and so far no signs of life. When should I worry???
I had a temp drop the last couple days, about 96 and it took me awhile to get it back up there. It happened when I removed my turner. Will this slow me down or will it kill the embryos?
