That's what I thought, OK, they were dead before that anyways

I candled them (I could not realy come here and scream my head off, so I went and re-read the guide to assied hatching by @SallySunshine and it said to figure out wheather they did need help (Beacuse it was the 27 day and nothing had happend) so I candled them, did the testes, Saw no beaks, heard no movment, and one of them looked like it was on day 4???) And it was all weried, saw nothing heard nothing, and no movment at all! (PS they smelled a smige funny too)

do you know what went wrong?

 

[Sparkle110]

do you know what went wrong?

At least 3 things

1. I had the temp and the humity too high for the 1st week

2. I had a huge humity drop twice

3. once the water tray got empty for I-don't-know-how-long-but-it-was-probally-about-a-hour-or-more

i remember now, ok, so have you started your new incubation?

your temp was TOO LOW, not too high humidity was too high
make sure you calibrate!
start our with humidity around 35-40%
then candle d10 to check AC growth

Nope (I don't have any eggs to incubate, I'm going for my flock ones, but mabey 10 this time instaed of 15)

Remind me about callibraition, I forgot what you meant on that (I did read on how to, but it lost me very quickly)

Day 10, I tought it was day 7, day 14, and 18, of which I did not do last time
