Mags you luck worked for me. Got 5 babies so far. Hopefully the rest will hatch shortly. Please let us know how your are doing

 

[MagsC]

Nothing. I do appreciate the good luck vibes though.

The last time I candled, everything looked fine. The eggs I have in the incubator, same thing. I looked at the humidity, temps etc., all okay. I dont want to jump the gun, open the incubator and mess with the eggs. Either I did something wrong or they were well and truly scrambled during shipping. They got here intact, so no problems with the way they were packed, Tori did a wonderful job.
It just slays me because I have been so careful.
I am still getting shipped eggs but will also try my best to get a few local to see if it makes any difference.
My other option is to switch the incubators around, except my LG holds more than my TX. I am asking for a 1588 Hovabator for Christmas. Sigh. Live and learn.

Does your LG have a fan? I got one for mine off eBay, and it has made a world of difference. It cost $4 including shipping, then I had to get a cordless phone power supply cord to wire it direct with. Here's a pic of mine. I have no temp problems whatsoever, the only problem now is with the humidity being too low. I have to add just a very tiny amount for it to shoot through the roof!

I am still gonna

that they are just late!!

No, I dont have a fan, though I hope to get one soon. The TX has a fan though.
Also, with troubleshooting, I think the temp in the hatcher might have been too low when the eggs were first put in, but that shouldnt have made a huge difference. The humidity was a little higher as well, but I got that taken care of quickly. From here on in, I am going to be as paranoid about monitoring the hatcher as I am about the incubator. Well, even MORE so,lol.
Not giving up, I like hatching too much.

Well. I had one pip and hatch but the yolk was still attached. I have heard NOT to mess with the yolk and the chick died early this morning.

I just put more in the hatcher but sigh, not going to post about them until I have a successful hatch.
I appreciate the support, it means a lot to me.
