We had 29 eggs and only one hatched. 20 of the eggs we had ordered online from two different places when I did the candling on day 7 there was nothing in them. I did it again on day 10 still nothing in any of them. 9 of the eggs were from my moms chickens. On day 7 there where 3 that I wasn’t sure about but 6 that I knew had life in them. On day 10 we still didn’t see anything in the three so we took them out. On day 21 one egg hatched!!! Super exciting!! We waited and kept the others in the incubator till the beginning of day 24. It was hard for me to take them and throw them away, I had just seen a chick in them on day 18 right before lock down :( I did a lot of reading and I think I had my humidity to high. I always had water drops all over the lid of the incubator and I just read that means the humidity is to high. We have 56 eggs now that I put in today. They were all laid of different days raging from 19th to the 27th. So I start day 21 from the day the day I put them in the incubator? Do I except them all to hatch around the same day? Did I use to old of eggs in the incubator? So many questions
