pheasants not hatching..

[Birdman18]

I have 6 ringneck pheasant's eggs that were due to hatch this weekend, i still dont have anything

, tonight would be Day 25 but i might just wait till day 27 then i'll just pull the plug.
I've monitored everything as accurate and consistent as possible, it shouldnt be an incubator problem, maybe its fertility.

Lots of things could go wrong. Every egg that hatches is truly a miracle. It does start with fertility, but thats only one small part. ESPECIALLY shipped eggs. I hope you get a surprise.

Thanks for replying kikescove, would you turn the bator off at day 27? Today would be day 26.​

I always go 5 days. Nothing ever after day 3 but it makes me feel better.

I'm thinking of candling them to see if i see movement, but i dont want to take the eggs out and have the humidty drop. What do you think should i candle?​

I just candled them and found that 3 of them had a nice dark spot in their, so i just might have a chance. Although i'm trying to get a brighter light source so i could see the embryo better, maybe it'll move.

What type of incubator are you using?

In the photo it shows the eggs in a cartoon, is that in the incubator?

Does your incubator turn the eggs?
