HELP! broody died eggs are dying

[Spiderduck]

I keep checking back in hope of hearing you have a live lil chick. Fingers crossed.

Aww thats nice of you.

I will update tomorrow so in about 9 hours time. When i check again. Hopfully there will be a little crack and somone peeping.

Ahh yes.

I will wait a few more days just in case.

I am confused after readin all of this....

You seem to want these eggs to hatch but your attitude of eh i will just wait and see when people are tryin help you get them hatched confuses me. You refuse to candle or get a thermometer... those two things can be REALLY important right now for you If you want these chicks to live if there is still a chance. Heck... maybe even see if there is a free thermometer ap for your phone to use for a few days.

Candling is very simple, touching these eggs is NOT going to hurt a thing... a hen has been sitting with her not pristine clean body in a coop with hay that has mites on these eggs for how many days...and candling will help you to see if any eggs are viable still.

I guess my take on this is that you came lookin for help to get these kids hatched so give the suggestions a try already.

I see what you mean.
I am trying my best. The reason i cant get a themometer is because i have no time to and the shops are far from where i live.

I have one that kind of works which i found. The temp its reading is correct. Just that not all the eggs will get the heat due to the small bulb.

Ive also listened to advice and decided that tomorrow, if a chick is not still born, to candle them.

I have the attitude of eh because im really sad i guess in the fact that i cant save them and i wont know if they are okay until they hatch or not. I do want them to hatch but its stressful waiting. If they were born it would be easier for me to take care of them as i know how to do this.

Btw, I would make sure that every mite is gone, those things can get bad very fast.

I know. Im trying to. And the more i get. I use bits of tape to catch them, more appear. Its a bit like flies...

Any ways to get rid of them all?

This picture worries me because I just recently killed some duck eggs with too much heat.
Too much heat being ONE light bulb like this...two is TOO much IMO.

I know what your thinking.

But only the one bulb emits the heat.
Ive placed it a bit further now too. The other is just a light....

Mites can be extremely persistent and annoying. I agree with @KikisGirls suggestion, I would get some Permethrin spray.
