hatch went bad,

[jtbuck]

Set 30 eggs on day 19-21 hatched out 13 , then something went wrong. All that hatched or piped never made it . Still have 10 unhatched.
Temp was always at 99-100,had water in bator, I don't think we had any overnight power issues.
Using a Hoverbator with air and egg turner.This is my 2nd hatch this year 1st was ok, hatched 13 out of 19...
Any suggestions, should I wait on others to hatch or just start over

I washed with soap and water, as it is styrofoam..

Ok, clarify for us. The ones that did hatch, died? Were they still in the incubator? Did you move them to a brooder? What was the temp in the brooder? Did you dip their beaks in water? you may want to try putting the electrolyte supplement in their water to give them some pep. If I read this right, and all 10 died, then I'm so sorry!! That's a lot to lose.

No, out of the 30 eggs 13 hatched and went to brooder,Temp 102degrees(2 have since died;11 doing ok), 10eggs did nothing, 7 either couldn't get out of their shell or expired once out.
