You are all so helpful. I am better with chickens than IT. I wanted to share a post I did in another thread with you.....is there a way to copy or share a link to it?
 
If you quote it like you are about to post then copy paste or cut n paste it over here


I wanted to share this here because I think most of you had this awh ha moment,of holy cow I should be more proud of my birds. Only after I read it to myself did I realize I need to join poultry anonymous. Like I said I think most of you are past this not from the number of birds you have but the amount of time you have invested in what you have. I would never have taken on so much if it were not for the support of BYC.

3 yrs ago 64sqft coop with 200sqft run raised 1 batch of 24 Cornish cross...2 yrs ago 33 Cornish cross, 1 yr ago 15 Ladies listed below coop upgrades for eggs and winter. Since March hatched 14 quail, 45 quail eggs getting set tonight! Ordered the Spring Pups below from my trusted hatchery, but yet I am strongly considering closing my flock and only hatching my own now. Cleaned deep litter out of coop because I have to many chickens now and it doesn't crust over as well. Built an outdoor urban style coop/brooder. Built a 12' radius steel frame 200 sqft run that still needs wire. Worked on quail cages because it was raining today, built lots of feeders and waters, introduction pens, brooders. I plan to build another 125 sqft run between the old one and one that needs wire for the urban coop/brooder. I ordered 2 of the sheds pictured above just now. One for a grower coop, for the run that needs wire and one for the quail cages with leftover room being an open grower pen. Both will need venting and floors built plus assembly....so the chicken math and quail multiplication. I have 39 chickens and 14 quail. Before the next 40 quail eggs hatch in 17 days I will have approximately 270 sqft of coop space, 525 sqft of run and 60 sqft of quail cages and as many birds as I can hatch as soon as the young roo matures and the quail start laying......leg bands!!! Have to go need to research leg bands never used them before and soon I am going to forget who is who.....little busy later BYC.

Don't know what to tell you then. You read through any of the links in the notes on the subject of unhatched eggs?

Yes. Stable temp- check. Sufficient weight loss- check. Clean bator- check. Bator opened too much during pipping- well, these were not pipped, so dont matter.

The only thing that caught my eye was this:

The thread discusses possible causes which center around shipping causing weakened inner membranes, allowing the chick to expand to a size which makes it difficult to turn and pip correctly. This is not a definite answer.
You don't match your eggs!!! That's crazy talk!!
