Pics of my HAL
All the Olive Eggers hatched (7 out of 7). My hubby added a couple eggs later in the day on the 11th or 12th whenever they were supposed to be set. I never checked what he added.
15 Silkies hatched. There were 4 clears and 9 didn’t hatch. No idea why.
With my broody hen, she decided to join the hatch secretly. Out of 10, 6 hatched. 1 didn’t make it, it hatched but I found it under one of the mom’s. There are 4 still out there since we didn’t set them I wanted them to have more time. Here are some pics.

I candled and definitely could see movement in a couple eggs. I can still see veins in them also. It is hard to see though. I feel better now.

Was the temperature a bit too low in the incubator?

Was the temperature a bit too low in the incubator?

It very well could have been. My incubator is 15-20 years old. The turner doesn't work so I turned them by hand. I found out that my boys had been opening it.
One egg pipped yesterday evening and I woke up this morning to a freshly hatched chick. He/she has rolled the other eggs all around.

I had one egg pip yesterday evening and woke up at 6am to a freshly hatched chick.

That is good news!
