Would need to know what you did first, temp, humidity, still air or forced air, incubator used, what type of eggs were they shipped eggs, etc?

What type/brand incubator do you have ??.

I agree with the other posts. There are a lot of reasons why hatches fail.

Here is one publication. It's not the one I was looking for but the other one publication is on my other computer. It is a very good article. http://ucanr.org/freepubs/docs/8127.pdf

Hi my temperature was 37.5 degrees celcuis and humidity was 55% it is a still air incubator who works with bulbs for heat and the eggs were not shipped...?

Your temp is too low you need it to be 38.3 degrees Celsius, I keep my humidity at 45% to no lower than 26 % for the first 18 days then up to 65 to 70% for the last 3 days. Hope that helps. Your manual was giving you the temperature for a forced air incubator. Try again, practice make perfect and
