HHHMMM thanks 4H Chicken mom I didnt think of that. well I have heard of other people using hatchers. And I have eggs that have several different hatch dates due to some uncontrolled circumstances, but right now I can leave the orps where they are at and move my other eggs to the...

OHbluecoop sorry to hear about your dog and the jersey and chicks after thinking about what people said and all I know that my incubator has more vent holes than my hatcher so that is what I am going to do-----this is my second "try" the first one didnt go so well either but it was in the...

thanks guys I think I am getting a clue: I will work on enough oxygen and ventilation, then when I was getting temp spikes I set the temp at 99.5 but it would go down to 99.1 sometimes, I just got a new wafer and a new thermostat, I need to get my humidity up more the first 18 days and keep it...

Thanks SCHMITTY. Yeah I am trying to figure this out so it doesnt keep happening. How is your little one? I had one like that that after 2 days was just fine.

Does anybody else have any theorys as to what went wrong and if so could you please elaborate-Thank You

we got a ton of snow on the ground and my arthritis is bad today so I am thinking the weather made it change

That must be what happened to them last night , poor little chickies, they were doing so well I cannot understand why the humidity jumped like that

days 1-18 were H 20-35% I think maybe that was too low the air cells were pretty big temps were 99.5- 100* however there were 2 temp spikes, and that is when I lost some embryos, but these 2 chicks made it to the end! It is so sad-I have been wanting these blue cochins for a long time, it...

the 2 that made it were perfectly formed and alive a few days ago-- the temps were good and the humidity was between 60-70% but when I woke up this morning the humidity had somehow jumped quite high, I only noticed it after I opened the eggs and foun dead chicks

but I noticed the humidity had greatly increased in the hatcher over night could that be it? they never pipped but were through the inside membrane into the air pocket

they are gone dead they were perfect and the yolk sack was in the body

BAD BAD NEWS HELP PLEASE

I dont hear anything or see anything some one PLEASE STOP ME from opening up the bator- ---I know it was alive 2 days ago so it must be ok right? nothing bad has happened to it!

Thanks
