So I thought 11 of 23 made it to day 10 but now that I've looked at them again on day 12 I think its more like 9.

I hope I can get at least some of them to hatch. If not one of my banty's has started laying and from the looks of it the egg was fertile so I'll collect a few eggs from my girls and my MIL's hens to set after this hatch. I might get to hatch some chicks this year. Can't wait for one of my girls to go broody and hatch for me.

My staggered hatch went great thanks for all the advice. Got three out of four Araucana and five minorca, still waiting on two

Sorry for the delayed update. I've been battling food poisoning since the ball trny. This is my last hatch from incubator 8/9, 2 that looked early from broody 2 and by some miracle 1/41 from the junk farm innovator. Their were 2 but had to cull one due to deformities. Now waiting on Buffy(3 left of 4) and Red(9).

I'm in the same boat you are in. I started with 13 duck eggs and 3 were not fertile. As of yesterday I realize that I'm down to 7
