I found the article, eggtopcy, why didn’t my eggs hatch. It was very helpful but I’m going to put up some pictures here for comments. I have a Brinsea incubator and we’ve had this unit for two years. I’ve hatched duck, bantam and goshawk eggs in it so my humidity and temperature are spot on.
These pictures are Serama eggs that were shipped to me and I bought 15 eggs. After 7 days I removed the eggs that were clearly not fertile and after opening them the yoke wasn’t intact, just a mess inside!! By lockdown I only have 6 eggs that looked like they were developing but I only saw one chick move. I’d removed others before lock too. One have a chick that died earlier but I didn’t take a picture of it. So here’s what I found on day 22. Yes I gave them extra time which may have been a mistake. This picture is all 6 chicks.
Above you can see that most of the yoke sacks ruptured for some reason and they were like water?
To me this chick looks fully formed but it’s intestines are out. A few had intestines hanging out and either no yoke sack or it was liquid. Plus most of them had internal membranes that were thick and Like rubber.
Such a pretty chick intestines hanging out and a broken yoke sack that was like water?
This one didn’t have an yoke sack at all In fact none had a normal Yoke sack! They were all in the correct position to hatch but none pipped internally. Thoughts please. Such a waste!! I should also add that every egg had a detached air cell and were put in the incubator upright.
