After weeks of eggs not hatching I figured I would ask some advice to help figure out what I am doing wrong or not doing correct. First for my equipment (yes I know Styrofoam countertop Incubators are not the ideal equipment) I have a Hova Bator 1602N with fan kit, and an egg turner. I set this up weeks before my first eggs arrived and it runs at 99.4-99.8 every time I look at the thermometer, and the humidity is running at 60%.
All my eggs were purchased off Ebay and seem to be for the most part fertile. Out of the first 3 I purchased I ended up with 2 being fertile. I have been keeping them point down for 25 days and placing them on their side for the last days. I have done this with a total of 8 eggs and none have hatched.
I have eggs left in the incubator that are in various stages, I would like to end up hatching some of them. All the eggs from this point when arrived had been placed point down and sat overnight at room temp before adding to the incubator.
I have been removing the eggs after day 31 and opening them to see the development, and have found that in most of the cases them seem to be fully developed but just not hatching.
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.
Thank you
