I opened one up and this is what it looked like.

They basically all look the same.

Sorry about the hatch.always so disspointing when you wait so long and it bombs

If they all look the same then in a way its good. Helps tell you what may have occurred
IM guessing as I really cant tell the size that they died say about say 8-10 days along Look at the chart they have on here to see the size it is at different days.So did the temp go way up anytime.around then? Off or anything? .

Quote: use a band aid and tape it's legs together...so it stands natural ...you know...it can take a week...you have to replace it every few days but it will get better

how exciting!

Since this is my first hatch, I really am not sure what to look for. I defiantly saw air pockets and what looked like veins to me but the rest of the egg is about half full of dark. I'm having a hard time getting the bator over 64% humidity. I really don't want to keep opening it. So I guess I should just wait? It's day 22 and 4 hours.

your humidity is fine...when you were having temp issues did you have dips in temps

no!! it can take a day or more to hatch...it pips to get air not because it's ready to hatch!! it's still absorbing yolk and blood!!!
