How common are hatch failures?

[taprock]

I'm on day 21 now and have nothing going on. My last hatch I ended up with 70% hatch rate - it was my practice run to buy special eggs. Now that I really want these eggs to do well I'm worried I'll end up with nothing. Have you had total hatch failures? Why do you think and how common is it?

I have only been hatching for 2 years , but have had everything from total failures to 80 percent hatch rate. I am now on my 3rd homemade incubator...and I think this one is the best one ever! As we speak , I have one pipped egg from the first hatch from this bator! Hoping for the best! Just don't give up!

It depends on what type of incubator you use!
