Were they refrigerated? Pullet eggs?They were not shipped eggs, just gathered from my own flock.
These conditions can play a role. The chicks may be malpositioned. Just keep a close eye on them. They often hatch just fine.

Not easy believe me!I don't know how anyone manages to convince chickens -- of any age -- to stay put in one place long enough to get a good photo.
The little wing over the side of the truck bed is cracking me up... like she's SO COOL.Ok slowing down a bit now that DH tested positive to the c....d...and I have symptoms but negative still.
So thought I'd do this before they get any bigger and while they had full crops!View attachment 3182261
This is my dry hatch range and we’ve had amazing results, it’s so simple and I’m lazy lolI'm doing dry hatch this time with humidity around 30% right now
thinking about bump the humidity to 60%
this is my first time trying dry hatch, as my first one turned out horrible but i know i made a few rocky mistake ( i didnt clean the incubator completely when i got it as a new to me one, and they were really dirty duck eggs i got... ) also possibly i hand turned them but didnt clean my hand once or twice when handle... also i candled them a little too much ... ( it was duck eggs so i was candling them every night when i did the cooling ...)This is my dry hatch range and we’ve had amazing results, it’s so simple and I’m lazy lol
