Dud eggs

[ChickenSal]

I'm pretty sure my eggs aren't going to hatch. I'm very bummed out. I have been candling them and there are no veins or dark spots. One even has the red ring thing. I wonder what I did wrong? Bummer, bummer, bummer.

That's no fun

You know what they say, try, try again!!

it is an art not a science! Get back on the horse and try again!

How many days has it been?

Is the rooster doing his job?

You have a rooster right?

Sometimes there aren't any satisfactory answers for the tough questions in life.

But what I do know is what you need to do!

Definitely put more in the bator!!

The first 6 (due Monday) are from a friend with a bantam rooster and normal sized hens, so I kinda figured they wouldn't hatch, just thought it would be fun to try. The 8 others are due Friday, and I bought them and had them sent to me. I want to try again but I wish I knew what went wrong so I could try to fix it.
What do you usually do with you dud eggs? Throw them in the trash? Bury them? I figure they probably sink real bad if broken.

I had one hatch 3 days late, When was day 21 ?? and what was your temp??

 

[Mary Of Exeter]

The right temp, humidity, and turning is important to get them to hatch. Also, those you had sent to you may have been too shaken up during shipping

Usually I just throw mine in the woods or bury them in the garden. They do tend to stink, but the ones that weren't even fertile to begin with aren't as bad as the ones that started to develop

Thank you for all the replies! I can't believe it but one of the eggs is hatching! I thought I had till Monday and I thought they were all duds! I feel so clueless!
