None of my eggs hatched *update on page 4*

Next time, I will not use a carton. My dad said he would make something so that there would be rows, and they could still lay on their side with out rolling every where. Never ever will I do that again. Guess its a live and learn thing.

I will try chipping (carefully) at a egg on the big side. I will definitely keep you posted

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. Are you sure about tilting the incubator probably not helping? Seems that the eggs would tilt just fine if the incubator was tilted. I just set my soft drink bottle on my keyboard and tilted the keyboard back and forth....sure appeared to shift the cola inside the bottle from side to side.

Oh I missed the egg carton part--I was imagining eggs rolling about in there!

<chuckle>I understand completely and can see where your concern was coming from!

Okay, I am helping one of the eggs, and a none smelling light yellow liquid is coming out of the egg...what is this?

 

[Felicia]

Okay, I checked them, and all of them quit on me. Hopefully I will have better luck next time.

I'm right with you... 30 eggs

I just pulled the plug on the incubator today... but practice makes perfect...... right??? So up on the horse...... I need more eggs!!!!

Yes, its a horrible feeling. I just hope that I didn't kill them somehow. I am getting some more eggs (soon hopefully). I might head to TSC to get a couple chicks to hold me over

Yep got chicks coming in from ideal next friday.... so not a total loss... but those chicks would of been much prettier.

I managed to only salvage one out of my first incubator hatch. It happens. Glad you both have the proper attitude - get chicks, then try again. It worked for me. My next two hatches went fine.

After opening them when did they quit? This makes me nervous, I'm on Day 19 with my Pekin eggs which take 28 Days. So far 9 of 9 are alive. I'm hoping at least two hatch because its my first hatch!
