Gonna hatch?? Or no..

[Chick1043]

How do I know if my eggs are gonna hatch? It's day 6 tomorrow and I have a feeling none of them are gonna hatch. Chicken eggs by the way. Do you need a special lighted flash light? I don't see anything....:\\

 

[Chick1043]

I mean I don't see anything when I candle them.

I couldnt see anything when i candled either. This is my first hatch so I too feel that none will hatch. Im at day 16. Ive got 97 eggs half of which i had mailed to me. I knocked on out of the bator today and there where chick parts in there. Dont be nervous and dont watch them. Let the incubator do the work.

Well I guess the main thing I'm worried about is its a home-made incubator my dad built. lol

 

[BairleaFarm]

lol mine is a home made one i built.

What is your temp? Low temp means Slow development time

 

[Chick1043]

Haha! Maybe its just home-made incubators?

lol I have no clue! Hopefully someone who has hatched eggs can tell us! lol

 

[Chick1043]

Its 99.5 inside the egg. Hard to explain how I know that.

Don't be so quick to give up. At least wait till day 14 when you candle!

my lowest has been 99.1 highest has been 100.8. I log temps 3 times a day
