I did take them out yes, I think something was just not meant to be. I didn’t complete the eggtopsy, but as I sat here looking at the hatching positions I got to thinking I’m not sure I even saw wings. I’m willing to bet if I had opened him completely he was deformed somewhere. And yes I should have gone with sheep too, my husband tells me every dang day. Our goats are an absolute hoot but impossible. I am going to read everything, get more thermometers and try again when I know more of what I’m doing. I totally want all the farm animals, but I only have a little acre. So I think I’ll stick to my chickens and mini goats.Maybe, but it doesn't look like it has passed too long ago. I'm not good at hatch fail analysis (or determining development day)... but suggestions depending on stage of development starts on page 52 of that incubation guide I linked.
Sorry for asking.. sometimes it's the simplest of things that might get overlooked.. Did you happen to take out your vent plugs on the bator?
Thank you so much for being brave and sharing this learning journey with us!
Adding your general location to your profile will help folks make the best suggestions possible at glance.
I do like having the option of using a turner with regards to freedom of scheduling and such... but hand turning can also be a great option/experience. Using automated turners decreased my personal hatch rate... but uhm... chicken math necessitates using them. People like Kiki (and myself of course)... are enablers! Oh ya, it started with chickens and then goats (I should have tried sheep). Turkeys, pigs. quail, rabbit... shumai!
