Now what do I do?

ok today is day 23 in my incubator an no sign of life how long should I wait to toss out eggs or crack them open to see whats going on? How do I know if its the incubator or me, both temp and hum have stayed solid the whole time other than hum did go up in the last couple days but I heard thats what should happen.

Sorry they aren't hatching for you. Did you candle them at all during the brooding period and was there signs of a live embryo? You should have been able to see the veins by the 7th day or otherwise you could tell when the egg is "clear" or not developing. Can you take one out of the bator now and candle, and hopefully you can see movement. Were they your own eggs and did you check for fertility first? There are a lot of things that can make or break a hatch.

Sounds like you are done. I'd do an eggtopsie on each egg, start by chipping away at the large end of the egg. I had two that I saved that way.. They just couldn't get through the thick shell and were almost through breathing the air in the air sac.

ok I took the eggs out side and took them apart 9 out of the 12 where fully developed but for some reason some point in their development they died it looked like they had a lot of liqued in their egg shells with them.

Sounds like the humidity was way to high?
