also, have you been turning the eggs? If not the embryos more than likely got stuck to the shell. Like I've been told a million times just learn from your mistakes

I notice you said you received them and sat them the same day. Did you allow them to settle down from the shipping pointy end down for 12-24 hours?

I have had better luck with just putting my eggs in the incubator without letting them set, do I suggest this for everyone, no of course not, you have to find what works best for you. But when I let my eggs set, I get less of an outcome then if I just put them in right away..

As in all new endeavors, educating oneself prior to jumping in head first is imperative to success. Before one buys a rabbit, one would research and find out everything possible about how to best care for the animal. When buying a new car, one has already done one's homework regarding every aspect and function of the car. Same is true of incubating chicken eggs. It's a process that must be studied PRIOR to one's first attempt.

Don't feel bad twitchnw I have messed up plenty of times.

I'm kind of the learn as you go type

.....I have also had my fair share of not so good hatches.

I've been turning ab out 3 times a day. I have one that looks like it is stuck to one side....I put them in the incubator on the 25th so that does shave off a little time. I will check again in a few days and let you all know. I was hoping to at least just get one....Guess I will have to try again. Thank you all for the info!

Just cross your fingers you never know.

I had one where I thought all were done and unplugged the bator and 3 days later heard a peeping sound and out one came!!!!

So possibilities are limitless.
