Incubation problems in the last week

[Bruce Obyle]

I recently set a few of my purple pea fowl eggs. I didn't disturb them more than I had to. Opened the unit up only to candle on the 9th and 18th day. My temperature appeared to stay steady at 99.9 degrees and humidity held around 50 percent. ( forgot to mention I had a duck egg in as well) All looked good until the 28th day. 2 hatched. I could tell from my canceling chart that something went wrong one week prior to placing them in the hatcher. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

I probably used the wrong ter as far as candleing chart. Should have said development chart

Hello, and welcome to BYC! Sorry that I can't help you, as I have only hatched out chicken eggs.

Sorry I have no experience with incubators. Please check out the Peafowl forum - lots of nice people there with plenty of experience.

Welcome to BYC! Hope you get the problem ironed out. There is a whole section about incubating, check it out!

Oh, and did you calibrate your thermometer?

I've had this set up for a couple of years and have successfully hatched quite a few chickens and pea fowl. This is the first year that I'm incubating our own eggs though. The first pic is out Sir Winston, srcond is the mom,,Lucky.
