Hatching day... Day 16.. Silent and still... How long do I wait?*sigh*

Okay first off I had bad temp fluctuations for awhile...

A fellow BYC'er helped me get it under control... Possibly too late for some... Did a float test the ones in my bator were low floaters.. 1 of 3 of the ones due today were dead... Hopefully or I murdered it.

Nervous, anxious, and scared... Idk what to do from here out... I have a severely staggard hatch... Button Quail btw... Starting to wonder if I should give up if these don't hatch.

What are you hatching? I see quail.

I give it at least one more day. Did you candle them?

Too dark to candle/ don't have a light bright enough to candle their dark shells with. BUT I did a float test.

Would the fluctuating temperature have killed them? How effective is the float test?....

Could be, but I think the water test killed them

Why would the water test kill them?!
