Day 25...no hatching

[2txmedics]

Ok, My org. Hatch day was Aug 7th....the Buff Orps started popping like popcorn Aug 5th...got 12 out of 18....on the 7th I got 1 cuckoo maran....

I still have 17 eggs that have NOT hatched....this is day 25...time to call it quits, right??? Wonder why they didnt hatch...out of the 12 Buffs...one had to be put down, head (spine) curved and couldnt hold head up, and couldnt get up off the bator floor....the other...right leg extended out, wont bend in....very tiny, and drinks but wont eat. so only 10 very good Buff, and the cuckoo maran.

So clean the bator out??? or give it more time????

Wait until Day 25 is drawing to close, I think, and then, yep, they are done for.

You could try quail. I am throwing some in the 'bator as soon as these two chicks come out.
