I'm sorry. Is there any noise from them at all? Are you going to eggtopsy and try to pinpoint what went wrong?

There isn't any noise, movement or anything. And I am gonna break them open after I pull the plug and see if I can figure out what went wrong.

Ok so who is the 4th?

Goochgirl helped one out today and I think has several other eggs, not sure if she's the 4th or not.

I pulled her out at 5:05. We checked my other eggs. All dead, which breaks my heart. The internal membrane was tight around them. Not sure if that's what killed them, or they dried and shriveled after they died. I'm assuming they were all shrink wrapped like this one. Oh, and she is flopping around in there peeping her head off, silly girl!

So sorry.

I'm sorry. That's such a disappointment! We got one out of seven and definitely feel cheated! I can only imagine how you're feeling.

I just candled the remaining eggs...nothing. I put one back in just in case because it was dark. The pipped chick seems to be drying around the membrane...so I am doubting it will make it. I'm giving it to tomorrow then I'm pulling the plug.

So late hatchers how many did you hatch after Saturday? I think 4 or 5 hatched for me Sunday-today. The rest were Saturday to Sunday hatch.

 

[goochgirl]

Just the one out of the 6 that hatched today. I'd like to know what I did wrong so it doesn't happen next time. DH came home from the office and can't take his eyes off the little clown. I guess he's changed his tune!

My first hatch that I did with a homemade incubator had the same results as you. I later found out it was my thermometer....the el cheapo for walmart...ended up cooking my babies. It said 99 and it was really 105!

No action in my bater..
Had one pip way down at the bottom ( pointy end) and did not see it.
The egg carton hid it.
It was to late when I tried to help......................

Yes, I am ready for eggs and have contacted a few BYC memebers......................
Some %%&@#% popped my checking account for several hundred dollars...............
So won't be buying anything until new accounts, cards ect. are settled.
The bank said they would make the loss good.

Wolftracks , i am also sorry for your loss.
Hope things ease up for you soon...................

If it's still trying to zip tomorrow, crack it and it may make it. If it's been more than 10 hours since it exposed the beak go ahead and crack it.
