I've been having an issue where my chicks make it to day 21 but instead of internally pipping seem to die. Upon eggtopsy if I peel the membrane a ginger ale colored fluid comes out, but otherwise the chicks are at near full yolk absorption, mostly tiny veining on the membrane, not malpositioned, etc. The membrane was clear and not dried out on most of them when i opened it, maybe with a few wrinkles. I was using an amazon cheap incubator as a hatcher and I would see the temps fluctuate a bit on a thermometer placed in it, would this cause this issue? It seems only half to 3/4ths of them make it out of the end process
