Are you using calibrated testing equipment like a thermometer? What bator are you using?
Have you ever had a successful hatch of any kind in that incubator? Has anyone else successfully incubated eggs from the same flock?
I've had all kinds of havoc take place and yet chicks still hatch..
There are MANY causes of hatch failure including parent nutrition, how eggs were handled before setting, etc.. Are they from your flock, or shipped? Are they being turned?
Living in California and having experienced many a quake in addition to being an avid hatcher AND having purchased chicks and duckling from hatcheries IN California.. I have a very difficult time believing that even one that magnitude would cause total hatch failure.. but not power outages or other things of major concern like them falling completely off the shelf.. which HAS happened to a member and still gotten decent hatch.. There IS more to this story than just the earthquake! If you like.. we can help you discern WHERE the issue may lie.
Noting.. as heart breaking as failed hatches can be.. these are embryos we are discussing and not chicks yet, technically speaking.
Happy hatching!

my previous hatched was 100% hatch with my setup..i built it myself..i have one hygrometer two thermometer and place a fan inside the incubator and my readings are on average 100f and humidity levels prior to lockdown 37-40 and during lockdown 60-70%..and actually earthquakes vibrations is so powerful with a very high energy that can cause a severe disruption in the formation of land and whatelse other powerful energy could it possess is which human have'nt a will never discovered is what i believeAre you using calibrated testing equipment like a thermometer?
