Advice Please! 9 eggs, 2 hatched

[AB03Sam]

My experience is with hatching peafowl, but you may find it helpful. I always remove my chicks from the incubator at around the 24 hour mark. I first make sure they are dry and remove them quickly so that I cause minimal temperature and humidity loss.

Yes definitely move them into the Brooder. I move all mine as they dry.

I have just candled the remaining eggs after removing the live chicks from incubator and it looks as though they have all died
I can’t understand why 3 chicks made it ok and on time etc, all the settings were as they’d should be from what I gather so is it something I’ve done wrong or missed? Or is this quite common/normal? Thanks for any advice!

So sorry.
I’m going to guess that 45% was too high humidity thru incubation. Is it very humid where you live? Were the air cells big enough?
Check out the red link in my signature block below.

Or is it possible that you had any temperature spikes along the way?
