The PO got my silkied cochins, too. 1 egg developed but am thinking it quit late. The other eggs I guess served the purpose of showing me exactly what clear eggs, scrambled eggs, detached air cells, and blood rings look like.

Wolftracks, at least you got 1!!! I have had 0% hatches before and it just totally sucks.

I can not believe I failed in 2 different bators! How horrible it that anyway?

I swear I used to have some awesome hatches!

I don't get it

Great hatch! With the leg, what do you mean? Is it splayed?

I've had 0 too, but not as many eggs and not using 2 bators.

So many factors to consider. One real important one, I believe is sanitizing the bators really well. Another is oxygen during the hatch days. But, as well, the breeders have to be of good health, or better than just layers. Here is a good read ....

If it makes you feel any better at all, my first 4 hatches were 0%. Then I got so upset I went out and collected all my own eggs set them and moped. They all hatched. Stupid post office.

Wolftracks.....

I admire you tremendously because you keep trying. I know how discouraging it is when eggs don't hatch for one reason or another...and you can't figure out WHY!!!??? Hang in there, we can all empathize totally!
