Oooppss!! I know this is late so I hope you got it fixed in the end... I'll just make sure there's enough water in the incubator so that some condensate is forming on the roof of the incubator - maybe humidity will be really high by then..probably around 80s - 90s but I've had that before and my chicks hatched alright...

Yep all good on that front now… however now I have an issue with hatching … it seems like they all just quit on me… one piped then died no breathing movements at all.. one internal piped was peeping like crazy last night now nothing at all… and the rest just aren’t doing anything at all… I’ve got one that hatched and one that is in the process but I’m worried … I just don’t understand what went wrong??? When I stopped turning them 2 days ago they were all healthy and dancing in their eggs …. It just doesn’t make sense

Yikes that sux!

how's the little fella going? give it up to 24 h for it to externally pip.. otherwise you'll have to step in..

Might it be your incubator that is the problem given the humidity went kaput? I'm sure you've done this.... but did you calibrate the temperature prior to using it?

@ChookieG @Sussex19 @MaryJanet hey guys major mystery here I’m pretty sure these are Hamburg eggs … can someone tell me how the hell I’ve bred what appears to be black hamburgs from silver spangled and gold spangled males and females??
Or have I missed something?? Are these not Hamburg eggs and if not what breed could have laid them??

The 4 babies that I got from my hatch of 14 eggs not the best hatch rate but there were complications
The penguin/panda looking ones are chow mien and bok choy (bok choy has yellow spot on head) the other 2 little ones need names …
