just2rosey, thanks. I guess that's what I was wondering mostly. I was curious to see if this has happened to anyone else that way & if it was likely to be breeder specific. Of course, it could still be something I did I guess. You never know! Sorry about your story too!!

minnichickmama, that is a very sad story!!! I would cry over that for sure! You know though, I've had 80-100% hatch rates on most of my shipped eggs. and the think about this buckeye hatch rate is that they were set at the same time in the same incubator as my ameraucana eggs and those had an...
brown chicka brown cow, I'm sure your eggs will be fine! I've had so many wonderful hatches. That's why this is really frustrating me! Keep us updated!
well, let me tell you. I poked holes in the air bubble to take a peek and could tell things were not right. So I cracked every single egg open to see what happened. The really dirty eggs stopped developing very early on. But, the majority of them were fully formed with the egg yolk sac not...
where did you get your buckeyes? I got mine from Jim Hall out in Arkansas. I have never had a 0% hatch rate, not even with true araucana eggs from a project line. This is so unbelievable. Hope your hatch goes well!!
I will be making tiny holes tonight & taking a peek. I'll post the results.
hmm. I've moved all the eggs to the center of the incubator. And, mind you, they have had the same conditions as the easter eggers which had 85% hatch three days ago.
I think I will take them out & candle them as suggested. Maybe even poke a small hole at the edge of the air sac to see. Any...
fshinggrl, so did your friend's eggs hatch on day 20 then? So maybe if mine are on day 23 then they're not going to hatch....hmmmm. I was hoping they took longer or something. Darn it. Thanks for replying!
Hi, everyone, thanks for looking. I have a really simple question. do buckeye eggs have a longer incubation period than your average egg? I usually have great hatch rates (days 1-18 in brinsea, then lockdown in hovabator). In the same hatch, I had 100% hatch rate in d'uccles (hatched at day...
