This is my second attempt at hatching some chicks and although it went better it still wasn’t very good. My first hatch I set 12 and 2 hatched. I opened all of the I hatched eggs and they were all fertilized and appear to have stopped developing in the early stages/embryo. I just finished my second hatch. I set 20 and 7 hatched. Again, I opened all I hatched eggs and it was the same thing. They were all fertilized but never developed past the embryo stage except one that was fully developed. I am desperate to figure out what I’m doing wrong and what I can do to have a more successful hatch. I store my eggs in a cool room, nothing older than 6 days goes in the incubator, I don’t wash my eggs and I only incubate clean eggs, my temp is set at 99.5, and I keep the humidity 50-60%. Please help! I have attached a picture of the unhatched eggs.
