Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Stuff happens. What incubator are you using? They should be layed on their side. It makes it easier for the chicks to move around so they can pip and zip. I have had some eggs that were pipped on the pointy end and they hatched ok. Good luck and have fun...

Its a modified still air with a fan inside to circulate the air
The eggs were on a turner

You'll get it next time! I hope you have a good hatch! When i incubated my first chick the temperature spiked to 108 a few times! the chick still hatched

Omg! Ya I have mine attached to a thermostat and when it got to 102 I freaked out lol glad yours hatched!!

Something like a Little Giant? Hopefully you took all of the eggs out of the turner and laid they in the bottom on the screen. I have a couple I modified. I like circulated air better then still air. This thread may help you.

Any higher of temperature and you probably would have cooked the eggs. Around 100 is best. Often times if the temperature runs high the chicks can hatch a day or two early and if it runs low a day or two late. Again good luck and have fun.
My latest hatch but I have a lot of birds.
