Hello Backyard Chickens Community!
I have tried my hands at hatching my own chickens and I have a problem. I'm on day 22 1/2 but I have 13 eggs with not one pip. As far as I know the temperature has always been spot on, humidity has always been good and until day 18 they were in an egg turner. The only thing I ever saw that could be a potential problem was how dirty the eggs were when they arrived from the supplier. Still they seemed to be developing okay, I had to remove 6 that never seemed fertile and there was maybe 3 more that seemed questionable when I candled them on day 17. Still I expected atleast some to hatch. And by 22 1/2 I already expected a pip or rocking eggs (though it's hard to see inside my brooder so I can't be sure of movement or not).
Should I just keep waiting it out?
P.s.
4 Black Copper Marans
9 Cream Legbar
Temp & Humidity good.
