I need to know where to go...

There is a sticky at the top of this section with a bunch of links in it to threads about different aspects of incubating. If you haven't already, i would think you would find a lot of helpful information there.

I'm sorry i don't actually have any personal experience to help you with, but i hope you find what you need, and i'm really sorry about the ones you lost. That must be very difficult.

 

Have you tried looking through here ?

This is the Sticky at the top of the Incubating & Hatching Eggs section

Edit: Posted the same time as PunpkinPeep.

 

I have read that you can leave chicks in bator for 24 hrs or more to which I did. so not to have to much of swing in humitity by opening bator. when a chick hatched it swung up to 101 and dropped back down to 67 to 68 while it was drying, which is where I had it the whole time during hatching I set 5 eggs 4 hatched one was infertile. I'm never going to help out a chick due to the fact they will be weak and get beat up on.

 

My guess is that you DID open the incubator. To take out those two chicks and put them in the brooder.

You really are not supposed to do that. I learned the hard way. Leave everyone in there at least 36 hours if there are still eggs in there. Once you open that incubator, there is a good chance the rest of the chicks will not hatch because their membrane dries out and they can't get through.

When the first chick hatches out, start counting hours. Usually within two days they rest either hatch or they are not going to.

I will finally open the incubator after 36-48 hours to get the other chicks out. By 48 hours my chicks are not doing so well and I need to get them out of there.

I don't just close the bator then. I check each egg by candling to see if it is alive. I also listen to it and feel it to see if there is movement.

If there is, then chances are it is alive and you are going to have to help it out because it is not going to get out of there on its own or let it go.

I am also learning that the majority of times that a chick doesn't hatch out when other chicks have means that the chick isn't healthy and will not thrive. I still help them out, but never expect them to live. And those I don't baby. I figure if I helped it out then it needs to live on its own without help anymore from me.

 

I too have been trying to read up on the reasoning for a full grown chix not to break out of its shell so I was told to put in a very warm wet sponge and I got 2 more
with my help they wre very dry and the temp was 99-100 and humidity was 73-78
but none since and I am waiting ,hatch day was the 10 .
now I am just waiting.

 

We open our bator and remove chicks and have not lost the others by doing so.. I never leave mine 36 hours they are out within 24 hours eating and drinking.
Are you using a still air or forced air? Are the plugs removed? Sounds more like an oxygen issue than a humidity issue although I consider 65% a bit low for where I hatch..71-73% gives me very good results.

 

Opening the bator is not going to cause a chick to die in the shell before hatch. It will cause problems after pipping with sticking in the egg and being unable to turn to zip. But if it never pipped, then opening the bator had nothing to do with it. What kind of chicks were they? Some have lethal genes that kill them before hatching. I have had the same thing happen, with the same procedure as a good hatch. Sometimes you just can't tell. Were the eggs shipped? I have had some do that with shipped eggs, as well as some that don't form at all. I had some with saddled air cells that formed right up till days before the hatch, then die. Lots of possibilities, but sometimes impossible to know, usually not your fault.
