1 chick hatched out of 52 eggs

I am sorry :( I was really sure you would have had lots of little cheepers now. I have 3 that Im still waiting on, but pretty sure they died. The rest hatched yesterday and in the night last night. I didnt start with as many as you did though, I only had 16 alive on day 18. For some reason I only got 3 silkies to hatch out of 9 original that I set. all but one of the mixed breed eggs have hatched as of today.
I kept my temp as close to 99.5 as possible with my water-wiggler temp and the humidity I was never able to get above about 50%, though it did naturally go up a little while they were hatching.
Are you going to try again? I just took the plunge and bought a Hova Bator Genesis, should get here next week and Im going to try again. I started with about 40 eggs, and only got 11 to hatch. Not a great hatch rate.
