On day 20..and starting to worry(updated with bad news)

[SterlingAcres]

Ooh yeah, it could be moving

good luck!! I hope they hatch for you! I got a temp spike of 103 the other day, scared the **** out of me. I'm crossing my fingers for my poor eggs. LOL

I know how you feel, I'm on day 19 an i have no pips or peeps.
When i took my eggs off the turner on day 18 they were moving but today no movement or anything and i've been worrying to..lol

cuz when my uncle hatch eggs out all his started hatching on day 18 and up but i'm not gonna give up, i still have 2 more days an even if they don't hatch on day 21 i'm still going to keep them in the bator for at least 2 or 3 more days after

i checked the bator again and still no action..day 21 is almost over and i have had nothing go on

Don't give up - my first one hatched out towards the end of day 21, and tonight is day 22 and I have 10 babies and 3 more pips (that I can see)! I only had 4 babies when I left this morning for work and came home to 9. One has hatched since.

Keep watch!

thanks that gives me a lot of hope...mine went in the bator at about 11 am on day one should i have counted that as day one or no?

i came home from schoo today with hopes that atleat something was going on in the bator...i looked in and there it was...nothing.... i was so mad that i took all the eggs out and cracked them open...on the inside was nothing but yellow mush.. nothing had even started to form...i dont see i could have messed up that bad

they were not fertile by the sounds of it.

 

[thechickman04]

i didnt think so either..no blood ring or anything..

 

[Crunchie]

I'm not saying that they definitely were fertile (that you may never know), but you can't be sure that they were not fertile. There are lots of things that could have caused a perfectly fresh, fertile egg to not develop. Temperature extremes, "scrambling" by the post office, etc. So it wasn't necessarily the fault of the seller. Something may have happened between the time they sent them out and the time you recieved them that was out of both of your control.

That said, it really stinks about your hatch. That is disapointing, no matter the cause. Better luck in the future!!

yea i understand all the risks..thats why im not gonna complain to anyone
