Hatching failure - PLEASE HELP!

[Pathfinders]

It sounds as if the eggs you got weren't fertile. Did you actually candle them? Do you know how?

Here are some links to help you track down what might have gone wrong:

I know how heartbreaking it can be, I do (I have two daughters, and when we first starting hatching five years ago it was very difficult when this sort of thing happened.)

Is there a 4-H leader in your area who might be able to help? Where are you located? Perhaps we can find you a "poultry mentor" in your area.
