Lost 9 eggs already

[Taylorenee]

What is your temperature and humidity?

Humidity has varied 44-50%

Did you turn them at all?

Yes I turned them in a carton on my kitchen table

I am hesitant to refer to any egg as early quitters. I would keep incubating them for another 5-7 days, monitoring for smell, to make sure. Sometimes development slows and candling is far from an exact science. However, I am not extremely experienced on the topic, but that is what I would do.

These were pretty obvious, lighter eggs I could see very well into . Not as far along as the others and just did not look right at all

If you haven’t pulled the 7 out of the incubator, leave them in. Our last hatch started off rocky, and we had one egg that we were certain was an early quitter. We had just lost our drake so those were the only eggs we had. We kept the egg and look what we got..

We call her lucky, that’s exactly what she is. Her momma is one of the two behind her, but we don’t know which.

No movement what so ever

Youre doing everything right from what youre telling us. Im stumped. Where is your bator located? Put 2 different thermometers and hydrometers in there. See what they tell you. But i dont think thats it.

Was the incubator cleaned well before setting the eggs?

is 45-50 % the correct humidity? Our house is 50 % normally, so if I put any water whatsoever into my incubator it skyrockets to 70-80 % humidity. Could it be that?

The only thing I can think of is I candled quit a bit in the beginning but that's the only thing I can think of everything else has been perfect do you think that could've done all this ?

Yes even 50 is a little high but 70-80 is way to high
