I don't know if I would want to blindly do it again without knowing what I did wrong. Maybe.

Well what did you do like what temp and humidity was it at? How did you turn the eggs? How many times did you turn the eggs? How long did you let them sit when you got them? when did you stop turning the eggs? What temp was the room you let them sit in? Did they have enough oxygen? Were they all touching each other or spaced apart?

Well, day 20 and still nothing.

Temp around 98-101 almost all the time. I turned the eggs 3x a day around 1/3 each time. I let them sit a full 24 hours. I stopped at day 13.5. The room was around 70 degrees. They were pretty spaced apart.

I stopped turning at day 14, hmm this is probably a stupid question but how did you turn them? Like I drew an X on one side an a O on the other and I would gently with one finger roll them left to right each day.

I drew an X on one side too, but found that it didn't matter. I put my thumb and pointer finger around the egg and turn it until my thumb touches the ground.

Well if you hatch again I recommend turning them the way I did it's much easier to me at least. Oh did you make out a calendar like I did to keep track of everything, and you said you turned them 3 times a day, at what times did you turn them? I turned them at 8:00 am then 4:00 pm and then 8:00 pm.
