I don't know if I will incubate eggs again, but if I do I tell you what for 1 I will buy a quality incubator and not make one out of a Styrofoam cooler. And most importantly I will not EVER have a staggered hatch again (add new eggs to the incubator when others fail) because I've been hatching eggs since Wendsday night and I tell you what, I haven't gotten a bit of sleep! I've drank more coffee between 10-12 than I ever have in my life, ive worried about these little eggs to the point of which I question my sanity lol I don't know how yall do it! I'm exhausted and stressing and driving myself crazy all at the same time!

my first came wendsday, it pipped and I went to bed, while I was asleep it had troubles zipping, it somehow got stuck and died

the next one was hatched Friday I stayed up with it until 2am, one was born Saturday morning the other one looks like it died in lockdown when i candeled it
I kinda have a problem with continued candling after the 18th day. I'm a worry wort and I have to keep an eye on them. I just do it really quick and I don't move the egg very much. I just got to make sure they don't quit on me. So I'm constantly hovering over the bator. I don't want my babies to have trouble.
, 2 are hatching right now and I have two more that are supose to hatch tomorrow then I'll be done! I'm so tired I wish these babies would hurry up !!!!! I changed my post about candeling, I made it sound like it died from candeling, it did not, ive candeled the other ones in lockdown by doing just what you said. I meant it looked like it died when I candeled it. I'm still hoping and giving it until the last egg hatches, but my problem has been from temp and humidity swings after an eggs hatches, it goes all over the place and takes a while to settle, I'm pretty sure that's what killed it if it is indeed dead

I have too! Lol I'm pretty sure I have guilt over falling asleep and not being there for the chick who was having problems, I may not have been able to spot it or help it because this is my first time incubating, but because of that if one pips I watch them like a chicken hawk!
