Get that new incubator and throw this one in the trash! Hugs, Nancy

I do not understand it at all. They were obviously fertile or wouldn't have even done as much as they did and did you see #4?? Almost perfectly formed. How long did it go before it died? It must have been something I did because the incubator was incubating them. The three of my own, 2 BRs and a RIR or Brahma were not fertile and I threw those away early on, nothing in them at all. But what did I do that killed them?
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So sorry chic

sorry chick, that is sad.

welcome to all the new guys, .......farmboy sounds like your pasture is coming along very well.......

now I have a question about sulfadimethozine, does any one use it for cocci? I had a fecal redone again last week cause I was seeing signs of the cocci being back. 2 weeks before the fecal showed negative. this week as I suspected it was positive. DARN,DARN DARN.... So do I HAVE to through the eggs out, Got more eggs today then I have for months .Pkg says to treat for 5 days. what I read most of the time on BYC is treat for 24hrs. then again in 10 days. Also how much powder do you use per gallon of water. Vet thought 1/2 oz. chicks do not like the water and eat snow instead????

Sorry about the hatch, Chic. Is that a still air?

Did you see my post about the eggs being infected? I'm pretty sure that's what it is. That's why those eggs are all splotchy like that.

See day 8 pics? They look like the top 3rd pic. Those almost never turn out. It wasn't your fault!!! I was hopeful they would though, especially the ones that came from you. Incubating eggs is almost like the luck of the draw!

the incubation post is very interesting. I have only had broody's hatch chicks, only 1 success this year. but I did candle some eggs and they were rather blotchy like the ones you said may have bacteria of some sort. I also had 1 die that was fully feathered but did not hatch. So you think the white splotches on the feathered chick was bacteria? A sad post but very informative. Thanks for sharing. chicwannab and keyt

As an old rooster I sure am glad the pressure of being a nice guy is off.
