I don't do completely dry, but I usually have my humidity are 30% or so, and adjust after candling and checking air cell development. I did an eggtopsy on that one, and the poor thing didn't have a chance. completely malpositioned, with it's head between it's legs, curled up in the middle of the egg. I put some pics of it below, but it's kinda sad...

your images all look like big chicks and yes from humidity as we had discussed. When they get that big they just cant position right, sometimes its the shipped eggs air cells that cause them not to move, but all your images look like the chicks are big wet chicks. in the hatching 101 article is the section what went wrong, the links have more details on and you may be able to get more precise answers since you did the eggtopsy!

Hoping you get some news today Doug. An answer with a solution whether treat or cull is better than not knowing.

oh excuse the air cell lines, I let Harmony and Lucas do them for the first time! but I told them as long as the X is up they are ok, little luke had some trouble following the lines of the air cell.

Our day 20 starts in about 8 hours.

Bernie will transfer the chicken eggs to the display case hatcher in 3 hours. I left them in the mega hatcher for as long as possible as the fans in mini dehumidifiers in there will try and suck a few more cc of water from each egg.

I hope for some external pipping before I go to bed.

When you put them in, do you not open until you feel all have hatched that will? Best wishes!

that is the plan. the display case bator offers plenty of observation without opening.

thanks
