Ok on day 21 with bantam eggs started with 9 only one fertile and NOTHING! It is starting to smell odd in the room I have the incubator so I am taking that as a bad sign. How long should I wait before discarding the egg??? My first hatch and a bust. But I have eggs coming today and will try...
Congrats everyone as of today my one egg is doing NOTHING andl its day 20. Will not give up until Friday. I did bid and won some eggs that come Thursday. Will try one more time but not with Bantams...
On day 16 with bantams so I finally culled the 6 that were clear.I have one definite but two I am not sure so I kept them. I read some lockdown with batams early should I?

I am on day 15 but only one out of nine eggs have any growth. Three are clear the others are just blobs kept my temp between 99.5 and 100 but humidity 35 - 40 was wondering if my humidity was too low or just got a bad batch.
