Egg hatch problem

[chadr7850]

i dont get it i had some eggs due the 22nd and none hatched none hatched the next day one hatched and then none again and still nothing what should i do with those that havent hatched. i also had some due yesterday still nothing but those i must be patient with i candled the ones due the 22nd and there was a big black mass. There is no smells when should i pitch them or should i still exspect a hatch at all. i went into lockdown one day to early will that effect them. I feel bad for the one that has hatched. she is so loonley but she likes the elephant i put in there.

I would check to make sure your temperature is correct. 2 days late makes me think you are running to low.

I would toss the first batch, check the temp with a second thermometer, and hope for the best.

What incubator? Still air or fan?

Current temp?

Humidity?


Good luck

My temps have been low during the night I don't know the humidity but there is little water drops on the corner on the glass but not a lot I'm using hovabator 1602n still air

if in doubt I float my unhatched eggs before I throw them out, saved a lot of chicks

 

[chadr7850]

So if they float there no good and if they don't there good? Do you put them back in the bator if they are good

 

[chadr7850]

Do you use warm water

get a bowl of water, as warm as the eggs should be, put the eggs in, they will float, now watch the eggs, the ones that are still alive will bob up and down, some times they even cheep, give it 5-10 minutes. This really works, give it a go

And if not through them away
