I am so disappointed

I have 33 RIR eggs that I got on ebay in one of my incubators ,that was suppose to hatch on Saturday Dec.13 th . Sunday one pepped and died , Monday one hatched and lived , now there is nothing going on .31 eggs and nothing . Today is the 24th day so do I trash them all tomorrow?

I'm sorry. I know how excited I was for my first egg to be laid. But waiting for 33 to hatch. Shear torcher. I'm sorry

Wow - that is quite a let-down. Did you candle them at any point? Can you candle them now and see if any are moving or have pipped into the air cell?

i would give them some time!! ive heard of many people saying theres hatched a good bit later than yours and one person even opened the egg up and it was still alive and then ended up dying because she opened it even tho it would have been fine....anywho it could be something as simple as the temp was too low so its taking longer

Big stock chick's sometime's take a couple extra day's 2 hatch...

awww, that stinks

Wait till at least 25 then candle to see if they are duds or if there is any signs of life in there !!

I'm sorry to hear that. It feels horrible when its a poor hatch.

Know how you feel..I bought 8 turkey eggs pricey price for them 2 broke in shipment and 4 infertile so got 2 hatching out of the eight with lots of movement.
