Have you tried listening to any of the eggs?
To see if you could hear any woodpecking going on.

I had to wake this one up.

@Cedar Creek Farm Lady Your source please, I forget.

Do I have everyone?
I think I am missing some.

1st batch HG.
2nd batch HG.
3rd batch 1/2 MyShire 1/2 HG.
I combined #2&#3 into one incubator after I removed the clears....

Ok, great.


Do you always wait to set them?

On cold shipping days I wait until the next day, this morning it was -1'. I used my lazer thermometer on the eggs and they were 50' so not frozen. If I get shipped eggs in the warm weather I put them right in the incubator.

No. I try to leave the eggs alone once they're in lockdown. These eggs are also so tiny that I'm not sure I'd hear anything if I tried. There are several eggs with pips, but a whole lot that don't appear to have anything going on.

The guy who gave them to me did mention that some might be as much as a week and a half old, and a lot of them were stored pointy side up, so it might just be a bad batch. I have four little buttons. I'm okay if I don't get any more or just get a few more.

Can you try and listen to one that you do see a pip on and try and listen to one that you do not see a pip on?
