Hmmmm. What was your humidity day 1-18?

 

[kays chicks]

40-50% alot of the time sits at 46% , i turn eggs about 4 times a day , always candle at day 7 and 18 and do water test and candle day 22 + 23 every time i still have them at day 22 but on day 23 they are dead ?? its happened twice now the ones that have hatched have come late on day 21 and day 22 . i have another 6 in lock down now due on 25th and humidity is at 78% all were fine at day 18

Thats very odd. And youve said youve had successful hatches with this setup before right, so that leaves the eggs. Are the from different sources?
