No signs of hatching on day 21?

I sent you a pm regarding the second hatch. I was also wondering, does anybody have any experience as far as buying hatching eggs from MyPetChicken.

Ruby will be a great mentor for your next hatch! ( I have never hatched in a styrofoam incubator)

The problem with shipped eggs is that the travel can really damage the eggs as they go from post office to post office. With shipped eggs, 50% is considered a very good hatch rate.

If you can find some local eggs, you might have better success - and I wish you lots of success!

Alrighty, I'd be happy with any mentorship. I'm probably gonna start with fertile eggs from my own hens.

I have a styrofoam incubator ironically my first hatch I had 34 out of 38 hatch and live sold most at about 3 months old though...
Added an automatic egg turner hatch rate dropped I think it's due to the last three days being spent under a heat lamp instead of the bator because I still had more in the auto turner

Huh, strange.

It was a rapid environment change so I think I understand
