Brief history:
5/13 - Set 20 chicken eggs with aquarium style thermometer/humidity gauge
Day 7 - candled and marked some for recandling
Day 10 - recandled, removed 3 eggs
Day 14 - candled, marked some for recandling
Day 18 - recandled, removed 11 eggs, went into lock down
Day 20 - Inserted more accurate meat thermometer through vent, temp was too high (107F)
Day 22 - still no action (no pips, cheeps, movement), did float test, 6 eggs appeared viable but with no movement, added additional digital thermometer with humidity gauge
Day 24 (Today) - candled eggs swiftly... can still see through 1/3 of the egg on all 6, which I don't recall being able to on day 18
I've got 12 more eggs that I've collected over the last 24 hours that I'd like to put in the incubator, but I can't do that until I either call these 6 dead and remove them or they hatch.
Would you call it quits on these 6? Give them a few more days? I'm so confused and upset right now. I went from 20 eggs down to 6 and now those 6 appear to me to be dead.
