Day 26... No chicks

[needmorechicks504]

I think I did everything right but I have zero chicks, not a pip or zip. I even did the float test and all the eggs sink almost entirely. I have no idea what to do now... Help!

What breeds are set in these eggs? What incubator are you using?
Can you candle the eggs and see if there is any movement or internal pips within them?

Hi! They are Ayam Cemani and it's an Little Giant still air incubator. We were thinking maybe we would candle them again next.

Oh boy, this is the part I didn't want to deal with. I'm pretty sure they were fertile. We saw the growth throughout the process. I will have my husband break it open.

Not even a Tostitos dip? Or a backflip?! OK, enough playing around..... did you get a separate thermometer/hygrometer to calibrate that incubator of yours? You know, if you have like $50-$60 laying around you can just ditch that incubator altogether and get the 'Janoel 12' for around that price and it's pretty darn good, a lot of successes with it even by first timers. Check on Ebay for cheaper price!

Or this one is even cheaper, but you have to turn it by hand... I think it's only 30-40 bucks on Ebay! Just type in '10 egg incubator'. AND it works well... but like I said, you just have to turn it by hand. I want to pick this one up just to play around it since it's soo cheap (But highly effective!).

What temperature was your incubator set at during the incubation period? And what humidity did you run it at before the lockdown period? What is it at now?

If you can candle them again, please take some pictures so we can help you with what you see.

Please! Don't do the egg float test as that will kill the chicks since the water goes into the egg.
