Ayam hatch death?

[xMissyTeex]

Hello me again, not sure if this is the correct place to post this so if not hopefully someone will be kind enough to point me to the right thread, this weekend our clutch of Cemani's began hatching 5 / 10 eggs fertile, 3 eggs hatched perfectly in a very short time, then 2 of them began to pip and stopped, i read every thread i could on intervening and we decided it was finally time when there was no movement or noise at all after 2 hours of originally noticing they had stopped (its hard to tell exactly how long they had been still as we were out for 5 hours) story short - they hadnt dried up they were still rather wet inside, hadnt been "shrink wrapped" as i read in one thread (the perfect description) neither was too big, infact everything about them looked just perfect, they just didnt make it, one was pipping at the pointy end, I was just wondering what other factors it could possibly be? temps and humidity was fine, everything was thoroughly disinfected, can it happen at times with no reasons? It was such a horrible experience, especially when they were so close.
many thanks

I also had a similar problem. Had 20 eggs in my Bator. All were alive and fine at lock down. Not one hatched or pip. It was my first time and we lost them all. We tried to egg autopsy them but we didn't know what to look for. Was it your first time incubating. Did you open the incubator alot. Or candle them alot.

They were our 3rd lot of chickens in this incubator the other 2 clutches all hatched, we started with quails recently and the fertiles ones also hatched fine, luckily we have an incubator with a candling function so its easy to see them all without having to really open it up at all so the temps and humidity stay fine i would understand it if they hadnt grown or hadnt pipped, but to start pipping then for nothing obvious to be wrong i just dont understand.

I'm pretty new to incubating so I'm not sure what happened. My first batch of twenty did the same thing. Everything was fine at lockdown. Then they all died no pip nothing. Could your temp and humidity be wrong. I know that some of the threads I've read said that it dose happen.

Just wanted to let you know I just had a batch of of 11 eggs set and only five hatched. The rest didn't they didn't pip at all. We opened them up and all were perfect. I think it just happens. Sorry.
