HELP! Day 23... no cooks!

[Lake2sea]

We have incubated eggs before and have never had an issue. We are on Day 23 and still no sign of life? Temps have been consistent at 100.5 and humidity between 29-40% throughout and increased the last few days. Still no cooks. Have not Candled but all seem full. When should we ‘pull the plug’?

No chooks? Have you candled them to see if they are fertile? How big are the air sacs? Are you able to take pics and post?

Thank you for replying! We have not candled them but will tonight for sure. Hate to handle them this late in the game- never had this issue before. Last incubation we got 7 out of 11 eggs. This run we have 15 eggs with no hatching yet - weird!

Whelp... we decided to open an egg- terrible as none of them completely developed. Don’t understand why. Two were developed looking like Day 19 where the others were more like Day 10. Nothing has changed in incubation methods used in the past. Very sad! Can’t figure out why... any suggestions???

Give them a couple more days see if anything hatches. Are you sure on the hatch date?

No... we lost the whole BATCH! So sad as only two were developed to Day 19. The rest were earlier developed but died. Nothing was changed and the dates are counted down within the system so ... we just don’t know?!
