So far I have the following:

43 due on the 6th got 35 hatched...81%
45 due on the 13th got 36 hatched...80%
63 due onthe 16th got 43 hatched...68%
70 due on the 20th
25 due on the 24th
49 due on the 30th

This gives me at total so far of 295 for March...
So far we are at a hatch rate of 118 of 151 so 78%...we must do better than that...

Julie, good luck to you too! Love what you're hatching!

GOOD LUCK to both of you...

That really sucks, so sorry to hear it

What day were you on?

Lock down is March 22nd and hatch day is March 25th so I may have just lost my entire set. I have Millie Fleur, OEGB BB Red, shipped RIR, and Cuckoo Marans in there. I am so frustrated with that stupid incubator. I'm bout ready to kick it out in the yard.

Guess what. I was moving eggs around last night and found out the turner in my new incubator has not been working. only 7 out of the 36 I originally set were still alive and moving and I am wondering if there is really any hope since I don't think they have been turning the whole time. I am so mad with that thing. I plan on packing it back up and shipping it back to where I got it from. I had shipped eggs in there and only 2 of them are still moving and I had Millie Fluer and BB Red OEGB. I'm so mad.

oh no... hope it was early in your hatching... I had the same prob, spkie to 110...so, i don't think anything is going to come of these eggs, but i've got them in lock down b/c they're Maran eggs and I can't see in them... so, you never know...
good hatching vibes to ya...

they are due to hatch on March 25th so it wasn't all that early. The humidity has been all over the place and the temp has been all over the place the whole time.
It is put out by fall harvest products but i think it is really just an LG, it looks just like them.
Since it is circulated air, I may just use it as a hatcher and leave the incubating up to my reliable hovabator.

sounds like good plan

Just put in 24 more eggs. Plus whatever else gets laid today.

Had 21 hatch, one died, it didn't look good anyway. It's stomach was black, like it had an infection or bad yolk or something. Have 3 Dom eggs that should hatch saturday or sunday. My chicks that I ordered came in today and it looks like their all ok. My 10 assorted white eggers are all the same

. They're black and white and I think Anconas.

Poor little thing. Sorry.

i had one die on me too, and it was hard

then when i did eggtopsies on five that didn't hatch there was another on almost fully grown, i don't know why he didn't hatch
