First time hatching chicks

[JaymeSue95]

Have you had a quick candle to see if you can see movement?

No I have not. Still no signs of hatching

Sorry to hear that. You may want to float them or make a small air hole in one. At this point they are far enough along I'm wondering if they're dead.

I just opened them all...they never formed..just yolk red looking thick gunk in most of them...

That's so sad I'm sorry.

I do hope you will try again with more eggs.

 

[TheKindaFarmGal]

Oh no! So sorry. I hope you try again and get a better outcome next time.

Trying again! Eggs are in today...we bought a thermometer to go inside and realized the incubator one was 15 degrees off!! I basically fried the eggs at 115 degrees the first time

hope they do better this time!

 

[TheKindaFarmGal]

Wow, that's way off! Hope they do better this time.

Wow!

I totally did the same with my first ever incubation. I trusted the incubator and didn't double check, it was way off

Good luck with your next batch of eggs
