First time hatching

[Chickelle]

Hi! First time here and first time incubating. I have 24 eggs incubating. So far 2 have hatched and are fine (day 20) The two that followed started to hatch during that night and seem to have stopped and died. I found them that way the next morning, only a quarter zipped. It’s now day 22 and only one other has pipped and hasn’t progressed in over 18 hours. No movement or changes in the others. Humidity and temperature are all looking good still. I’m wondering if there’s anything I should do or just anxiously wait it out a couple more days?

Hmm, what incubator, temperature and humidity are you running?

Are your vents completely open? Humidity should be up around 60% to 65%.

Humidity is at 65% temperature is 37.5. Using a pet scene automatic incubator.

Late quiters generally stem from either not enough oxygen (vents are closed or no option to open them) or the humidity Guage is not reading properly. Is this machine a still air or forced air? (Do you hear a fan?)
