I am sad that I failed !

I wish I knew whats wrong ! I made sure theres correct temps and humidity.

After few days I will stop for a while and try again.

This time I am going to try the dry incubating. I am hoping They will Hatch midnight !!!

Happy New Year !! 2012!

I feel your pain,,,,I have chicks in the incubator that are suppose to hatch today as well...no sounds....this will be the 3rd batch that I have had no hatches from...

I watch em like a hawk. These are from my girls and not mailed eggs so I cant blame it on that! Its very disheartening

I use the dry incubation method and it's worked well for me. However I usually hatch homegrown eggs March-April when there is more moisture in the air (I'm in the northeast). Depending on your location you may or may not want to closely monitor the air cell and local weather conditions if you dry incubate.

You might want to bust open some of the eggs your hens are laying now and look of the bullseye. Your rooster may be shooting blanks.

3for three, theres a full body inside, guess it died, dont know what cause it. Will try again next month..

Today I pulled the plug on my incubator.

I have a friend thats brave enough to open the eggs. There was some eggs have full body, and died. some were partly developed with feathers . he thought they stop around the 16th day (just guessing) Now I wish I knew how to prevent this next time !!!!

This is how I incubate - the dry method. I don't up the humidity on lockdown though I have better hatches if I wait for a pip to up it!
