Hatching
So this is the first time I've ever incubated eggs. We had one chick hatch out in the middle of the night, but nothing on the other eggs in the incubator. I water candled them to see if there was anything going to happen with them as we are on day 23 already. I had one egg that floated but no movement at all. I also put a flashlight to them all to see what I could see..no movement there either up near the air pocket. I'm thinking the one little guy is all I'm going to get out of this batch. I'm not sure what could have gone wrong. I kept the temp at as close to 99.5 as I could get it. My humidity was running a bit high with some fluctuations, when I would add water it would really jump up a lot. But I'm not even sure if I trust the humidity gauge that came with the incubator. I bought a digital one and it seemed way off..again not sure if that ones right either. I candled several times, which I'm thinking I should have cut back on..but my excitement got the better of me.
any suggestions on what I should do to reduce my loss?
