Had my 1st successful hatch last week I had 12 shipped eggs, 4 hatched and 12 eggs from local guy, 11 hatched. I have had 15 new chicks in plastic container brooder in house now moved to garage to have more room and please the wife also. I had a bantam hatch with toes curled under feet so I put...
I need some advice on what happened in this hatch. I had 8 eggs that were candled and had chicks growing. Went into lockdown day 18 raised humidity to 60-65% temps steady at 99-100* on day 22 heard chirping from inside egg, 24 hrs later no pipping. Waited until day 24 never heard anymore...

Going into my first lockdown, removing egg turner and attempting to raise humidity to 65-70% thinking about putting in the shelf liner on top of screen. I should have 8 chicks in a couple days if all goes well. Thanks for all the info in all these threads, it's been a help
This is my first post and my first hatch. I have a Farm Innovators with egg turner. I set 20 eggs I got on eBay, shipped from ME to NC. They are a variety of breeds. I have 3 thermometers that read 99-101 and humidity is between 40-50% Candled on day 7 not sure what I was looking at but I did...
