Glad you were able to get half of them to hatch! First time DD used a foam bator she only had 4 hatch out of 4 dz!!!

Usually doesn't take 4 days for all to hatch. I would say it could be a temperature issue. When using my sportsman I have had issues with eggs not hatching on time, since the temp varies throughout the cabinet. I turned the temp up a degree in hopes that this hatch comes out on time.

Were you using an autoturner? Think auto turners help BUNCHES!

The leg problems could be do to the late hatching.

Sorry! I didn't consider where eggs came from-- since most of mine come from our birds!!! Have had bough eggs hatch before I even put birds on lockdown!! Never had bought eggs hatch late.

If you have trays out of balance on temp in the sportsman it is related to teh ventilation settings, you can balance all teh trays by adjusting teh ventilation then reset you temp before incubating, ussually takes a day to get set right.

Robin,
whatever route you take make certian to keep your reciept, there are 30% IRS tax credits for any energy conservation appliances, or renovations. that will help recoop your costs unfortunately you have to wait till you file your taxes. the Utility companies are 30 day programs.. it is a real shame you don't have gas ONG's program is a real good one.

Jarvis I have worked on the ventilation. I have the ventilation set the best I can to keep the humidity right. I will try to play around with it more.

The temp seems to be a out half a degree cooler on the bottom, I know that isn't a huge difference. I have avoided putting eggs on the bottoms in hopes of that helping! Hasn't seemed to make a difference.
