Hi wondering as any anyone had problems hatching eggs that they have recieved in the post, I've had 2 batches now,
I'm a beginner and bought on of the cheaper incubators,
I've turned them twice a day, and kept temperature about 39 and humility about 65,
Can anyone help please

Shipped hatching eggs are always a gamble. You might get none to hatch, you might get really lucky and get all to hatch, but more likely you'll end up somewhere in the middle. Shipped eggs aren't great to start with as a beginner for that reason.

The humidity you're using is much too high for the first 18 days. You don't want it that high until the last three days. Have you been weighing the eggs or candling them to track air cell development?

39 C is too high, even if your incubator doesn't have a fan. If your incubator has a fan and is forced air, then the temperature should be 37.5. If it doesn't have a fan and is still air, then it should be 38.6, measured at the top of the eggs.

You also want to be turning the eggs at least three times a day. More is always better, and try to stick to an odd number, so that the egg spends the longest period it will go without turning (usually at night while you sleep) on a different side each day.

I would give this article a read, as it should help you out:
