Newbie hatcher!! Bad eggs

[VannahBee]

Well it's set for 40 to 50. But I have a temperature humidity digital thermometer in there. and it reads 80. Then down to 39. And if I put any water in it goes up to 80.

Maybe the digital hydrometer Is wrong

Do you have the water in cups?

It could be. This is the Janoel right? If so, and you aren't using cups, it probably is right. Pouring it in the bottom really spikes the humidity.

Oh. I thought I was just supposed to put it in the bottom. And yes its the janoel

It shouldn't... can you post a candling picture?

For some reason, I didn't get notifications for this thread for all this time.

The person that shipped you the eggs did it foolishly. Be warned, the chick that you will get might not be purebreed americanas or even americanas. They shipped the eggs cheaply and didn't do research. You might get Easter Eggers instead because of either scam or they bought their chicks from the store that were labeled "Americana" even though the stores only have misnamed easter eggers. How much money did you spend?

If you bought 'Americana' eggs, you have Easter Eggers. If you bought 'Ameraucana' eggs, you probably still have EE's.

Americanas are Easter Eggers.
When you buy Ameraucanas you will most often be sold Easter Eggers.

With the dark egg; are you using the same candling device, and is it possible it needs new batteries?

I had an egg go completely dark from day 7. Who knows what that was.
He hatched, and he's almost 6 weeks old now.

Don't give up on it.
