Hey guys,
I’ve set about 8 silkie eggs and 28 quail eggs on May 4th and May 8th respectively.
Today is the first day I decided to candle. Chicken eggs first. All clear. At first I thought maybe the hen (they’re all from one hen) was infertile, but then I candled my quail eggs which I KNOW are fertile. All clear.
I’m using an Incuview which I have not been impressed with as it seems to run high (as high as 102 once according to my 3rd party thermometer) and doesn’t hold humidity well.
What could have caused this?For every single egg to be clear? Like I said, I know my quail are fertile.
The only other thing is my mom said there have been 2 power outs recently, but I’ve been home and haven’t noticed any, and my chicks all downstairs are fine, so I can’t imagine they were for very long. Any explanation to this?
PS, the incubator is brand spanking new, this is the second clutch of eggs I’ve set. The last batch was successful, but results were not as great I’d hoped for a 200$ incubator
