Day 26... No chicks

[littleprairieheartsfarm]

I'm going to wait on my husband to candle them when he gets home. Till then I'll keep watching for movement or hopefully some sort of sound. Thank you all so much!

If you have anymore questions or concerns, feel free to ask!

With a still air, it is critical to take the temperature at the top of the egg and it needs to be 100.5-101 because of thermal stratification.
100.5 at the top of the egg should make the middle of the egg 99.5.
I wouldn't blame humidity at this point, I would look at temperature first, if your thermometer wasn't calibrated properly or guaranteed accurate.
As I see it, you can either invest in the following items

or
get a different incubator.

I feel your pain, I've been there longer than I should have.

I will candle them and share photos, hopefully it will aid someone else at some point. I don't want this to be a complete loss. Thanks again!

First thing is to make sure your thermometers are accurate by testing them against an accurate thermometer, I've found medical thermometers to be the most accurate with the tightest tolerances.
