Sigh. This is my third failed hatch.... I think Im going to start trying to hatch eggs from my flock rather than spending so much money on silkie eggs.
I have ordered from different breeders every time. I just cracked open one of the eggs... looks as though it died around five days or so, but definately fertile.
I have three thermometers in my incubator. The first two read about a half degree difference, while the third reads a four degree difference...
I have no idea about my hygrometer, but it is brand new.
Which thermometer did you use to adjust your temps, the one that read lower or the one that read higher?? 3-4 degrees too high would certainly have been a problem. What kind of incubator. Don't give up.
Looks like I'll be having an egg funeral. I don't plan on opening these last three. I know that they were fertile, and very close to hatching, ten from the same batch *did* hatch, the eggs were collected at the same time, but laid (and kept warm) at different times. But these were due on Friday.
