Well, I couldn't stand it anymore, I figured I would sacrifice two of them: One of the shipped ones and one of my own. They're both full of liquid, the chicks are practically swimming in fluid. The shipped chick is underformed, malpositioned and swimming in this milky, white liquid. The chick from my own egg is just simply sloshy. I'm not sure what to do. I'm thinking of keeping the humidity steady and upping the temp to see if that helps to dry the eggs out in the next day or two, maybe try and salvage one or two of them. Otherwise I'm pretty sure that I'm going to end up throwing away 20 completely formed, drowned chicks. Yay. This has been going on ever since we shut off the AC for the winter, I think that we're just too close to sea level and too humid for the styro bator to work properly. I probably need to just do a dry incubation and hatch during the winter.
I think it was a combo so I would re-calibrate thermo as well just to be sure, thats how I screwed up my last batch, well all my accurites went at the same time and then the new ones are all 1 degree too low
