HELP! Can't incubate !!

[Stacyoung13]

Hi, I'm new at incubating, but becoming a failure quickly. This incubator was given to me, it heats up and holds temp. I have to add water every other day for humidity, and I manually turn eggs 5-6 times a day. Everything seems to be working fine but this is all I get. this is day 13 ,what am I doing wrong? (X is for turning purpose).

Forgot to mention that I have tried over a dozen eggs, trying to get it right.

Is there any possibility that your eggs are not fertile? Are you certain that the temperature reading is correct ? Was the previous owner successful with this incubator ?

That does not look fertilized to me...where are you getting your eggs?

 

[Flockandfowl46]

They don't look fertile

Right out of the nest. I have 2 roos in with hens.

I checked temp. Everything seems to be doing well.

Starting with fertile eggs is a must.
ALSO you must get a separate calibrated thermometer and humidity gauge.
You can not trust the readings on that bator.
They could potentially be way off.

This is likely unrelated to hatch failure or not at that stage, but your humidity looks much too high. You'll want to correct that before you have viable embryos.

x2. Have you actually checked fertility, or only assumed they were because there were roosters in there?
