Issues with hatching

[KittyKat3756]

I don't think I'll be buying form that seller again. Got 7 without problems and 1 which was late (it was weak, but is now catching up with the rest).

9 eggs were infertile, 2 quitters (days 5-10), 1 rotten. First one to pip died before hatching and there were two others which were fully developed but didn't even pip. There is one fully developed which is still alive, but it hasn't pipped internally and is still coated in very bloody looking veins so I don't think it will make it.

The last one did die before hatching. When I opened it up, it had retracted all the blood vessels, but it hadn't finished absorbing the yolk.

Here are the survivors at 5 days old:




I'm a little weary of posting photos here as there seems to be a lot of people on this BYC who don't respect image licenses which could result in the forum being taken down for copyright breach (that would be a sad day ). I hope that if someone would decide to repost these, then they'd ask before acting at least out of respect if nothing else.
