Finally having my first proper hatch along! Astronomy theme 🪐✨

[redinator]

Bad news unfortunately, we had a very very poor fertility rate (I will be talking to the head rooster)
We had only nine eggs developing out of the entire batch
All developing eggs looked good however the rest were completely light bulb clear, the following are the lucky survivors
3. Orion @ChickenChick46
7. Neptune @redinator
8. Andromeda @BoundlessLove
9. Pluto @akroberts1085
14. Luna @jxp
15. Ursa @jxp
16. Event horizon @PeaShack
17. Comet @GreenJay
19. Marsie @BarbuDeWatermaelLover

Can someone experienced with hatching help troubleshoot what went wrong?
Incubator temp and humidity has been pretty stable, hens have been with roosters for several months, I think maybe my top roo has a poor mating technique (struggling to balance)

Sorry to all the people who’s eggs were infertile, I may do another hatch along once I figure out the fertility issues
You can share eggs with people if you like, and egg no 19 is still not claimed

Sorry to hear about that. I had a disappointing hatch myself not to long ago. Out of 34 set eggs only 9 hatched. The majority started out fine, but quit along the way.
