HELP! Classroom chick hatching- are they all dead?

[laurenk16]

Eggs can be left at room temperature for up to a week while acquiring enough for a full cluth to incubate. Less is preferred, longer greatly reduces the chances of success. Also, if the eggs weren't stored pointy end down during this time, that lowers odds, as well as the movements in between trasfer from them to you. Its quite a complicated process, lol.

I quickly candled each of the 24 eggs in my incubator. I think I have 4 good ones (4 where I can see all the veins) and the rest are duds.

Oh no, that's not good rates at all. Something must've been neglected before they got in the incubator.

That's what I'm thinking. I hope I get at least 4! Lol Thank you so much for all of your help!!
