I ordered these from a local breeder. They were pretty pricey compared to my usual egg source, but I was trying to get specific breeds... I got them Friday at 4pm, and held them, blunt side up, at room temp of 65-70° til Sunday when they went in the incubator about 7pm. I am dry hatching. The humidity has been 32-35% consistently. The temperature has been 99.5, maybe flashing to 100 occassionally... We are incubating in the Kebonnix 12 egg incubator. I've used it several times now and love it.
1 and 2 are Silverrud/Isbar eggs. Now, admittedly, these blue eggs are not easy to see through, but I didn't see any good, obvious signs of fertilization in 1 at all and 2 looks like it might be...
3 is the lone Ameraucana. I see a full blood ring. Is that correct?
4, 5 and 6 are Icelandics. 4 and 5 look like they were never even fertile and 6 looks like the only one that is fertile and viable.
So... What did I do wrong? Or did I get scammed and most of these eggs were not fertilized or viable to begin with?! What would you do in my situation? Should I contact the breeder?!
