failed hatch

    Trouble-shooting when your eggs don't hatch.

    A few preliminary notes: I opened up a post the other day about a 'failed hatch' but was rather surprised to find it was about 2-3 individual eggs (out of 20+) that failed to hatch, this was not a failed hatch but rather a normal, successful hatch with a couple duds. If you've ever incubated...

    Hatching in an incubator — advice

    This is my second time ever trying to hatch my own eggs. I had only 1 hatch my first go around so I got a new incubator because the one I was initially using was an old hand me down. Round 2, I followed everything. Candled at day 18 and got them ready to go for lockdown. 4 hatched… on day 19…...

    Only 1 chick survived the hatch. Started with 9. 7 were alive day 21 (yesterday). All but 1 does. What in the world happened? I seriously might cry.

    We started with 9 eggs. 1 was infertile. 1 developed a blood ring in week 2. 4 hatched yesterday. 3 died. 3 eggs remained this morning. I came to check on them an hour afternlast check (didn’t touch, just listened) and they were all dead. No peeping, no movement, nothing. My broody then started...

    Quail eggs didn't make it, but one almost did!

    This was my first attempt at incubation. I only had 5 eggs and a little giant incubator, so I wasn't expecting any miracles. Yesterday was the last day they had to hatch, and it came and went without any chicks. I float tested them today and they all floated, but before I threw them away I...

    Eggtopsy: Can you tell me what went wrong?

    *Post contains photos of unhatched eggs.* Hello all! I incubated 8 silkie eggs, all of which were fertile. They all developed and then 6 died right before hatch day. Two hatched. I took some photos of what I found. They were almost fully developed, but had not absorbed yolk. Any ideas of that...

    Chicks dying before hatching

    Hi, I just finished my second incubation but it was a fail. Only 3 out of 23 eggs started to develop, one died around day 10 the rest was living when I last cancelled on day 18 but didn't hatch. I kept the humidity at 30-40 during the first 18 days then I increased it to 60-65. All of the eggs...

    Failed hatch and so much guilt, please help

    Hi everyone, first time poster here (or any forum for that matter) but I've been a long time lurker! I'm absolutely devastated today and wanted to maybe get some feedback from you knowledgeable people. Even if it's to tell me I was wrong in what I did, hopefully I'll get some closure to allow me...

    None of my Muscovy ducklings hatched...

    Being as this is my first attempt of incubating Muscovies artificially, I admittedly may have done some ignorant stuff during the 38 days to warrant a ZERO PERCENT HATCH RATE... but i don't know what I did wrong. I feel so sad, guilty, and discouraged. I knew Muscovies are notoriously hard to...

    Gosling very late dead in shell, why?

    I had a tiny duck egg and a goose egg incubating together since 9/25/17. The duckling hatched on 10/23 but no progress with the goose egg. I thought maybe the incubator temp was too low and it just needed time. This morning it passed the float test but a while ago I started worrying about it...

    2 bodged hatch attempts need advice!

    i purchased a cheap Chinese 56 egg incubator with built in chandler which turns out after the first hatch attempt is running around 3 degrees cooler than the thermostat says. To combat this I’ve put my own thermometer (which also measures humidity) in and a second one for good measure. The...

    Muscovies dying before hatching

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. For the second time, I've allowed one of my muscovy hens to sit on eggs. It's now day 39 with no sign of ducklings so I candled the eggs. It looked like black fluid in the egg and it smelled so I took it and cracked it. First tap, the shell came off but the...

    Water between the membrane...

    I bought several new breeds of birds through the purchase of eggs. I'm not a novice at producing clutch rates at better than 75%. I think it would be higher but... The folks I purchased from were online and very nice. I believe I was sent decent eggs. I'm not asking for a guarantee. But I store...
