Oh, I’m so sorry! What a bummer. It’s so disappointing, I was hoping you’d have better luck than I did.Open the last egg. After opening the other one, had a feeling something wasn’t right for E3. Glad I didn’t wait.
All 4 had zero development.
Learning quite a bit from this for the next batch coming in. I’m going to assume the “leaning” to the pointed end needs to have more leaning than what I saw in the last two. The cool down test will probably need to be almost hot on the end if there’s a chick growing, not just warm.
But you have first hand experience with a chick actually developing. Was there a difference with the tests for you on each egg?
So, those tests... had exactly the same results for developing and not developing. There weren’t any differences, other than no wiggling, until the last few days. I’d say those tests don’t hold much weight for proving life. BUT maybe if there is no tilt or warmth they can prove no life, instead of trying to rely on them to prove life?
My eggs lost the exact same % of weight all along. At the end, they’d both lost about 13%. So, weight differences or fluctuations aren’t always an available indicator either.
