    Dead egg??????????????? Help!!!!

    maybe it is tired and resting.. you can try to help it, but you will likely make it bleed to death by helping. make sure humidity is very very high and your bator temp is abt 95 to 97

    I want to hatch more eggs...what's wrong with me?

    hatch them and sell the chicks.... your selling point is the most people do buy chicks in the springtime, and then wait till august to have fresh laid eggs. If you buy chicks NOW you will have fresh eggs when others are just getting their chickies...... hatch as many as you can!!!
