Hi I have 28 eggs in bator they have been in since May 11 th on friday I removed then from turner and placed on bottom of bator Yesterday I had 1 egg that was rocking and has small crack on it. Today nothing no peeps no moving eggs. This is my first run at hatching and I candeled them and saw them moving on friday when i removed from turner any help on this please.

It sounds like your temperature is low but there still may be hope keep them sprayed wit hwarm water and maybe they won't stick too bad if they do try to hatch. I would raise the temperature before i set any more.

the temp has been at 100 the entire time and I
kept the room temp at 85 during candeling
so I should mist them ??? Do you think the one that was moving has died? should I remove it ?

You should probably give them a little more time. You say it has been on 100 degrees.What if your thermometer is wrong? This is the most common problem with hatching inaccurate readings. The eggs are telling you that your temperature is low. The eggs will always tell you.

I would hope that the themometer is right but like you said the eggs will tell you Im going to check it against know temps to be sure now. How long should I leave em In the bator befor I will have the burst problems. This egg hatching is all new to me I have 200+ birds and this is the first time I have tryed to hatch like this and I have had chickens for 10 years we get alot of natural hatching form our girls. I just wanted to try something new lol

I would candle them and if i didn't see any movement or hear anything i would toss them. They are already late and the chances of a healthy hatch is slim.
