That is a good possibility. At least you have the 4

I agree, I am happy with the four. thanks.

We can't really, ever be for sure, why. So many different factors that could be involved. Glad you got the 4! Did you post photos? I get so far behind.

Thanks! Not on this thread, I will have to in a moment.

I am so happy you took it all in and listened to the T and got every egg to hatch and one that is most likely upsidedown!!! and that is not your fault it makes a huge difference!! This has to be the candle of the year!!!!! amazing catch!!! yea come on over @TNLEGBAR62 we should all write him a letter saying she is not obsessed, she is just part of a cult hello! @FaerieChicken you can take them out now, only need them at the beginning. you cant get it to a better temp with a higher watt bulb? or moving the thermostat a hair closer? 98 is not good even for a few hours a day, But nuff said on that I cant wait to see if you can get better with candling... oh I forgot to tell you, sometimes people say their cell phone can candle better than their flashlights can see in! good their sending you a replacement! I would still double check with other thermo/hygros I am glad they are feeling better! if your really not sure and you cant see in it that great do the sniff test, if it doesnt stink let it in yet and sniff it in two days and try to candle it again. awwwwww thats a bummer peep! I was so hoping they would all make it for you!

Thank you, I was too. The OE was a mottled brown, real cool looking. Had a big comb, maybe a rooster? Unknown I guess.

Here are my chicks! I'll be fine with one cockerel as long as it's the brown one. I really want blue eggs...

An egg exploded and got goo on the egg, causing increasing stink. I can't immerse to clean it, can i? . I'm misting and wiping the 4 stinky eggs. Today is 19 for the 4. Do you know of a way to clean, any thing like watered down H202? To dab on and rinse off? It's causing a LOT OF STINK in the room, and house. I have moved the 4 to the side to let them be together if they are gonna hatch. I can mist separately. I will try the egg carton to stop the rolling. I am turning 3+ times a day, sometimes just rocking the LG,(singing lullabies). How do I know pipping? What humidity do I need for the 19th day? This feed sure has helped me thru this! Bless y'ALL!

@BG2heum You really need to get those good eggs out. At this age..19 days, they will be fine until you get that bator clean! Just put your good eggs somewhere safe until you can get the bator clean. Wipe down the good eggs with a paper towel gently. I realize it's lock down time, don't worry, they should be fine once you clean them off..yes water. Some may suggest something else, but not sure you will have that in the house.
To clean the bator, I use a half and half bleach solution and spray the bator, then rinse it with hot hot water, then cold cold water. Wipe the top down with a wet paper towel..after it cools down, don't burn yourself on the heating elements. Put the lid back on, let it warm up real warm for about 30 mins. Then back down to the temp you want you eggs in for lock down. Around 97 is where I do it. Good luck. Sorry this happened. Not good. :/ Humidity for chickens eggs at lock down..I go 60 to 62%.

Raining and cloudy until Saturday, so tomorrow I'll begin assembling walls and such and Saturday is when we can try putting things together. I'll also have the husband order our roofing around that time. I'm gonna do the thing!

I use a still to hatch. I have a fan with a turner right now, then put them down on their sides for lock down.
I do mid 30% humidity for incubation in the still. I do 60% to 62% for lock down in the still.

Ok
