can low temps delay hatching

[oopie]

Ya I would say its dead I can still see about a quarter of it still liquid

You should be able to see the air cell. But yes, the rest will pretty much be solid black.

 

[oopie]

Well I just candled it again you can see the air pocket and you can see some light going through the egg and I tapped on it and no movement. I think I will do the float test and if it fails then I'll open it up to see what went wrong

this is another really good one, she has pictures of candled eggs WITH the egg broken open
so you can see inside and outside
at various stages of development

helps to tell "when" the death happened

Well I did the float test and it sunk so I opened it up and it looks like it failed at day 10. Thank you for all the info maybe next batch will be better.

I missed calibrated my temperature. ;(my shipped eggs were at the temperature of 97_99 for about 10 days. What can I expect. Please help so I can be prepared

 

[oopie]

They should be ok as long as they didn't get too low. I have some in the incubator now and over night the temp gets to 95 and everything is still going good.hope they hatch out good for you.

It is possible they will just develop slower and hatch a little bit later than expected. candle them in the incubator (try not to handle them much) and keep an eye on their development day by day.. look for movement etc... 99 is okay, 97 is a tad bit low but I would be very optimistic
