Hi CluckNDoodle,
Thank you so much for your advice and kind words… it’s truly the worst and the safest hatching I ever experienced…
Also special thank-you to Barnyardchaos, Eggsighted4life, and wyorp-rock for your timely helpful advice!!!
You all helped me greatly. I truly appreciate it!
Final report:

Thank you again!
I’ve assisted hatchlings several times but never done airhole and coconut oil.
I’ll wait to hear back from

Hi Thank you very much for your help!
I have two thermostats inside the still air incubator. I’m pretty sure that the temp has been at 98.5-99.5. But what you said is pointing to a total failure for the other remaining 12 eggs because the humidity level inside the incubator has been too high. I...
Hi I had been hatching chicks since kids were young for a while but haven’t done it for 10 years. My old records was like 90-100% hatching rate.
I put in 20 eggs (ranging from 7 days old to a day old) in the incubator on 7/9. One was so early that it peeped on 7/26 but did not manage to come out...
