Graphic content: eggtopsy

14 eggs in the bator. 2 burst due to cracks during shipping. 3 hatched on day 21. Can anyone see what could have gone wrong with these four potential gals?

On what day did you do the egg topsy and when you did it did you candle them first.

 

[JackandStacey]

First candled on day 8, then day 18 and lastly on day 26 to look for movement. I opened them up on day 27.

Ok I don't see any deformities except the egg sacs did not absorb let me find somebody who can help. @Chickenwingwing what do you think. Can you help.

Could they have all been malpositioned? Where there any turner problems? IDK

I notice a lot of liquid in that photo, which could indicate that temperature during incubation was too low / humidity was too high.
Things to consider:
Were they malpositioned? This definitely could have been due to the eggs being shipped/stored improperly.
Was the humidity too high during incubation/lockdown? This can cause problems, including too much fluid in the egg as well as limited air cell development. Speaking of which, were the air cells an adequate size?
Was the humidity too low at lockdown? If not enough, it'll be difficult to break through the shell.
Also, were there any internal/external pips?
Did you decrease the temperature by about 1 degree during lockdown? Decreasing the temp by 1 degree while simultaneously increasing humidity puts less stress on the chicks.
Was there proper ventilation/ were air vents completely open during lockdown? Hatching chicks need more ventilation/oxygen.
Were the chicks turned during incubation and did you stop turning them at day 18?
Did you use another thermometer and hygrometer to check digital display of temp/humidity levels?
