I'm sorry I don't have a good answer for you as I am new at this. But this will give you a bump. Hope you get your ? answered. This is all good learning experiences for all of us.

Were half the eggs by any chance sit on by a hen before you got them?



& Is your incubator still air? If it is, the eggs that are RIGHT under the heat 'bar'

are normally warmer than others. The ones farther away from it might of been

a tad cooler than what they are supposed to be, and that slowed down the

development.


OR..

Maybe you think your seeing movement... If you are moving the egg just the

slightest bit, somtimes it looks as if the chick inside is moving. It does not count as

'movement', unless the egg is held 100% totally still, and then you see movement

inside. If the embryos were not actually moving, they most likely quit early on in incubation.

I wish you the best of luck
