I have an Orpington Rooster over RIR hens.
I have ordered from different breeders every time. I just cracked open one of the eggs... looks as though it died around five days or so, but definately fertile.
I have three thermometers in my incubator. The first two read about a half...
Sigh. This is my third failed hatch.... I think Im going to start trying to hatch eggs from my flock rather than spending so much money on silkie eggs.
Out of my 11 bantam eegs, none have even pipped yet. It is day 23. I think for the first 17 days the temp ran about 3 degrees farenheit low... are they still going to hatch? I had no other major problems....
