About ready to pull the plug on my eggs... Should or shouldn't I?....

[jfulcher]

Had bad temp fluctuations for a long time.... Then I messed up and opened too much during lockdown... No hatching so far.. Tomorrow 2 will be overdue... Staggered hatch... Yes now I know DO NOT DO A STAGGERED HATCH... Idk what to do... Pull the plug or wait it out?.............. Been crying all day...

i would hate if you did, but i cant stop you, and if you do think they are dead, then Crack 'em open and find out, i just wouldn't want you to kill them, and if you are really worried, then do yet another float test, yes i saw that you got a lot of replies on the topic you posted about float testing, but if you really wanna know then put em in water again and see if they move, if they don't then my best bet is that they are probably quitters, they died

yeah i know that means he has faith, or has invested a lot of money in this hatch, but if he has faith then let em try to hatch

I'd wait at least 2 more days, I agree with your BF, wait till saturday! If you pull the plug on them now, you will destroy all chances...if you wait till staurday you'll be keeping some of the chances. It would be like buying a scratch ticket and then tossing it, because the chances weren't so good....you already bought it so scratch it! The eggs are already in the incubator, just leave them
