It will be interesting to know how they do. I read that if the eggs are not turned, the embryos die around day 11. However, someone on the forum had the same problem you did with the egg turner not working. She ended up hatching about 20% of the eggs anyway. Fingers crossed for you!

Thank everyone for the re-enforsement. I'm really hoping they will hatch & be ok. I refuse to go in and help like I did last hatch. I have decided that if they are not strong enough to make it out that probably something is wrong with them. One out four that I helped last time made it. The rest definately had issues & the died within 24 hrs.

I was talking to a guy last month that ordered eggs one year and the post office lost them in transit. They arrived 3 weeks later. I was wondering if any of them hatched, but he said he didn't waste his time and just threw them out. Even though they probably wouldn't hatch, I would have put them in the incubator just to see if any of them were viable. Science is action I guess! I was sad to hear he put them in the garbage.

Update, 3 additional eggs pipped & 1 of them zipped & is out just in 3 hours. So amazingly 1 chick made it out of an egg that wasn't turned for 13 days.

Looked into the Hatcher a little while ago-----lots of eyes looking back at me. Today is day 21, so I will take them out in the morning.

Update, all 4 of my eggs have hatched. This is my first ever 100% hatch rate
on 13 days of non-turned eggs. I'm thanking my lucky stars~pretty amazing.
