Should I float test them?

Day 24 and still nothing think I can safely call this hatch a wash nothing out of 36 eggs 26 of them which looked promising all the way up too lock down so depressing.

If your temps were low I would leave them a few more days. I had some hatch a whole week late a couple times now.

my eggs came this morning...they were a bit late due to the snow but their here have been un packed and are resting till they go in the bator tomorrow


took my serama roo to the PO to get the eggs and my post master loved him....will have to take him on more outings

OK, I have never waited that long because I was afraid they would explode on me lol... But good to know, I'll do it in hopes that I don't toss a viable egg!

I have hatched a lot of eggs...............about 5 years I think since I started................
In that time I have only had one bad egg.....................maybe I was just lucky but I do not think
exploding eggs are that common...............
I candle at 11 days and 18.....don't like messing with the eggs to much...............
But I know others do it sooner and more often..................
Good Luck..........

I only hatched twice and both times have had a quitter that when opened stunk, but it was early in the rotting process and the outside of the egg hadn't stunk.. I am confident that I know the difference between the smell of a hatch and the smell of rot and death. I am kinda like a freak about making sure I smell the eggs when I candle and I am always smelling the incubator.. LOl..

Now watch, getting ready to set eggs today and sure as I have said all this I'll have a bad one
