    Chriscat from NC

    Eggs quit at 2 weeks...help!

    I've hatched plenty of eggs in my still air Hovabator in previous years with no problems. The temp was holding steady at 99.5 and everything looked good, I could see movement in the eggs. At about 12 days, the developing eggs started to get blood rings, and by 15 days, they were all dead. What...
