Hatching help!!

[Lhoward42]

moreover do you turn the eggs three times a day. If not then thats a potential huge problem. without that you embryo sticks to membrane and dies

Yes it automatically does it

Have you tested them for accuracy?

X2, did you calibrate the thermometer?

Yes the incubator is off 10% on the humidity and correct on temp, and I tested the temp of the separate thermometer/ hygrometer not sure how to test the humidity

humidity is not your problem.to be completely honest,36.5 celsius is not recommended temperature.You should keep the temperature between 37.1 celsius to 37.5 Celsius

Hmmm...are you thoroughly sanitizing the incubator between hatches? Do you wash the eggs prior to putting them in (you generally shouldn't)? Is the turner working as it should? I had an incubator that was giving me terrible hatches all of a sudden and it turned out the turner had gone rogue and would periodically get stuck turning them back and forth for over an hour until I finally caught it in the act.

When did they say it went down that low? Pretty sure they said it stayed in the range of 37.1-37.5

 

[Lhoward42]

It dipped 3 times in 5 days to 36.7C the rest of the time was 37/37.5 C

she siad 98 o 99.5 farenheit. 98 farenheit meaans 36.666 degrees Celsius so thats the problem

If the dips weren't long this shouldn't really matter. That's not generally low enough to cause issues. Where do you measure the temp from with your external thermometer?

then that is the problem my friend
