2015 HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long, Join us IF YOU DARE!

[Cynthia12]

Did my day 7 candle last night all my eggs seem to be developed but the welsummer eggs I left them in there hoping I just couldn't see because they are so dark

They really do get dark. I've hatched them before. Have to wait for that air sac look..is it getting larger with time. That's great that you are seeing development in the others though, that's always a good feeling that there is some good going on in that bator.
Sounds like they are due soon? Maybe?

I had to toss another. A Barnevelder was oozing. Eggtopsie showed a 4 or 5 day embryo rotting inside after incubating for 11 days. I'm guessing I have a couple more like this. I can't be sure what caused it.

The ones in yard or pets. The baby's or food for family.we can't sell eggs it's against religious beliefs . We can't desorb eggs it's against gods laws. I can't control temp in house anyone then it is.i can't fix the incubator .we do not eat the eggs it's against gods laws in our religion. I can't fix it. It's what it is

Your goal is to hatch chicks to provide food for family, right? The eggs that are 30 days past due will not hatch. The embryo didn't develop for some reason. What will your religion allow you to do with these so you can clear the incubator for a new batch? Clean the incubator really well. There are many tips out there but it is very important. The eggs that are in there may have spread bacteria that will kill the next batch. Some people prefer bleach. Some prefer vinegar. Once clean it has to dry completely before you add more eggs. If it's dry and sunny put it out in the sun.
I have to run but you're getting a lot of helpful information here. I'm hoping you get a system worked out to provide for your family and enjoy learning the process.

How far along are they? Bet they are. Did you keep them in the incubator while the power was out? I've had the power out for a while too and they were fine. Just think/pretend, that mama was out for that long of an outing. Let them warm up real good again, then you can candle tonight to see how they look, and then, let us know!
