So today is day 30 and nothing else hatched. I performed several egg-topsies this morning to see what went wrong. There was only one egg that had a fully formed, albeit small, chick inside. It was pretty liquidy under the membrane and the yolk sac was still present. As for the rest of the eggs, nothing was in them except egg white and egg yolk, like what you see from a store bought egg. I didn't see any blood in them, nor did they really smell. So I'm thinking they either weren't fertlized, or I some how killed them very early on. As for the fully formed chick, other then maybe "drowning", I'm not sure what happened.
Now time to clean the bator and start again. I have some more blue laced red wyndottes coming. I'm also getting a hydrometer this time and a digital thermometer so that I can monitor the conditions more closely.
This brings a question to mind.... how to do guys clean your bators?
Oh and thank you all so much for help!
