Congrats on those two, they're really cute!These 2 chicks hatched just fine in same conditions the other 3 did not.

Thank you for that thoughtful response. I was just wondering if using the hovabator was part of my problem. It's nice to use it & have staggered hatches, but it's much tougher to keep stable. Will try these next 5 eggs in the brinsea for hatching. May chill out with the supplemental turning early too.@PhoredaBurds I was thinking the same thing as Ravyn said before i saw her response. everything i hatch, ducks, chickens, quail (never peas, though) beaks are the other direction.
Is the temp drop for hatching advised for peas lockdown? The only thing i can suggest is if possible, can you try hatching in the Brinsea? I had been using a styro to hatch when i had staggered hatches and it seemed to do fine. But i was having trouble with lavender Orpingtons that were zipping, but missing parts of the membrane, then weren't able to push out on their own. Last week i left them in the brinsea (octagon adv ex) and every single one hatched! Coincidence maybe, but worth a shot?
Oh, you may also consider stopping turning sooner? I know with chickens, turning isn't as vital for the last week, not just the last 3 days. Maybe a few extra days of no turning would let them orient better??
Thanks! Peachicks just kill me. They're all so cute!Congrats on those two, they're really cute!
Sometimes I forget when they're due and keep turning. .Am I the only one that continues to rotate until the peachicks begin hatching?
