Eggs not hatching Green yolks

Don't Cull your Birds..If it was caused by an infection they would not have made it as long as they did..It's temp and humidity issues..

a friends gonna try hatching their bators newer if they dont hatch there either then it is the adults

Bacterial infections can hit at any stage of the game... I've seen it...

Unless I guess mold spores are in the incubator?..Hmm..Interesting.

I hatch right in my bator.....but the mold spors...i wonder if the mold on my walls are causeing bad hatches?

You need to wash it really well and dry it out perfectly..

Clean the incubator with soap and water and then disinfect with bleach. Make sure you're washing your hands before you touch the eggs and disinfect your flashlight/candler, too. Calibrate your thermometers, don't trust what the incubator says. They're either being infiltrated by bacteria or your incubator is spiking temperatures and killing them. Consider sanitizing the eggs before they go in, too. I use 50% original gold Listerine and water, considerably warmer than the eggs but not over 100 degrees. Dip and let dry, make sure you make fresh if the water gets cool before you're done dipping.

Would that cause green yolks?

i am unsure if that is from the yolk, if you look it looks very runny and kinda clear

I have two hovabators both washed with soap and vinegar and the same thing happens i have two thermometers in them reading the same

bleach

yes, it very well could, they pull air from the area around them



and how old are the birds you have, another thing could be breeder nutrition and health in general

What I am looking at is the film to the yolk surface. The actual green liquid is odd and I have not seen it, but that tint to the sack is typical of bacteria in my limited experience.
