Hey, I'm no expert, just mistake that I had made myself. If you have a setting hen, it is a good practice to have an open top water source for them a few inches deep. (Especially when hot, you see them wet down) I hadn't let any hatch since I was a teenager, and I hadn't considered that the chickens had a creek, here they just have a hanging waterer. 10 of 12 from the incubator, 0 of 12 under a very patient hen. Same time frame, eggs from the same hens and rooster. I hope the surviving ones make it, good luck.
