Wife and I are heart broken. It was our 1st attempt with eggs and had 16buff Orph eggs. Out of the 16 it looked like 12 were doing good when candled and up to lockdown. Hatch (day21) was on the 21st and to date nothing. We used a freinds still air bator and auto egg turner. Temp was stable at 100 and humidity was prefect every time we checked. We are going to pull the plug on the 25th as we can't take it much longer. We were so looking forward to chicks. To make things worse we had to get dog food and went to tractor supply store not thinking........and they had all sorts of ducks and little mixed peepers and chicks. Thought the wife was going to tear up before we got out of the store.
We are still tryng to figure out what happened, we have the bator on a card table in the living room. She is heart set of Buff Orph's so I am working to try and get her some day olds shipped ASAP but looks like end of April or May is the earliest i can find avaliable.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for anwsering my questions during this attempt even thought we messed up some where along the line was nice to have you all anwser our questions no matter how simple.
