Awww. I'm sorry. What happened? Was there a spike or something?So, I opened up one, it was dead. I opened up two, they were dead. I opened up them all, and they were dead.
Thanks for your help everyone! Without you, the one chick I have probably wouldn’t have made it.
I’m getting blrw chicks that are only a few days old soon, so Eggo won’t be lonely.
Yeah, this was day 26. But people think maybe my temp was too low and my thermometers were wrong, which is probably what happened.Wait I thought I read something that said they were day 26? Or was that a different thread...
I don’t know. Not that I know of, unless it happened while I was asleep.Awww. I'm sorry. What happened? Was there a spike or something?
I haven't gotten any notifications on this thread so will catch up before chiming in.@wolfwalker and @Tonyroo if you're still watching this thread.
I don't have any on my laptop, but I'll post some later!And pics of fluffy eggo please?
+100 on this! We've hatched chicks for several years now, and temperature and humidity are VERY important. So, one might ask, how do you know your thermometer and hygrometer are accurate? Buy at least one GOOD thermometer and hygrometer and check the others you have against the good ones. It might be worth buying backups of the good ones to check them against each other.And I agree that the fault lies most likely with the incubator.
Go to the store and buy a good old fashioned bulb style rectal thermometer. place a few fake eggs in the incubator, the turner tray off and place thermometer on top of the eggs. compare the temp with your other thermometers and the incubators thermometer. do this for several days at different times and log the temps. Move once you know what your incubator is running at, move the thermometer around to see if you have cold spots to find out if the cold spots or hot spots are at a temp that would be detrimental to hatching.
