Oh, did you have any hatch? It can be difficult, I've had humidity issues in the past, I think they were drowning. These guys seemed to be doing fine and were almost there... Things happen. I will be trying again soon, I hope you all will, too. I really do love hatching out the chicks...it's alot of fun!
I had 3 ee's hatch and 1 BCM died while zipping (so close). I had 3 of 19 hatch. Am leaving the bator alone until am so I can autopsy before garbage man comes. I had a few mishaps over the 21 days and 3 of my BCM eggs broke during shipping-prob. too many factors working against them. I'll try hatching more of our ee eggs for others that want them-don't want to keep buying eggs until I feel more confident. You're right, it is fun!
I'm so glad that you had some hatch! I am recalibrating...I bought a certified thermometer from Carolina Scientific, so I can calibrate my other thermometers. I'll also recalibrate both of my hygrometers and be looking for eggs again REAL SOON!
If I can find where my mutt hens are laying, I'll do a practice hatch again... Take care all!
