    HELP! Classroom chick hatching- are they all dead?

    Oh no, that's not good rates at all. Something must've been neglected before they got in the incubator.

    HELP! Classroom chick hatching- are they all dead?

    Eggs can be left at room temperature for up to a week while acquiring enough for a full cluth to incubate. Less is preferred, longer greatly reduces the chances of success. Also, if the eggs weren't stored pointy end down during this time, that lowers odds, as well as the movements in between...

    Temperature really depends on the individual incubator. Eggs must keep atleast a 99.5 internal temperature to develop properly, and that is the minimum. If your incubator has cool spots or fluctuates temperature or other varying factors, higher temperatures are probably more sufficient. I like...

    HELP! Classroom chick hatching- are they all dead?

    I dont see any indication that 1, 2, or 3 are viable. 4 seems to be ok. I find it much easier to get photos shining the light from above down onto them. It also prevents turning them upside down to much risking detatching the air sac or rupturing the veins. How are you hatching? Incubator...
