Polish Egg Mortality

[Shocky481]

So I have some white crested blue polish pullets that are 8 months old. I am trying to breed them, I have bred them to a white crested black polish, and a silver laced polish to no avail. All of my eggs die around day 5-6.

They are in the same incubator and turner as all my other hatching eggs of different breeds that all have a 90ish percent hatch rate. They are on the same diet, same water, same environment, and everything else I can think of.

The eggs are placed in the incubator at less than 4 days old with the same turning habits as all my other eggs that do great. But the polish eggs always get a red ring around day 5-6.

Any ideas? All help would be greatly appreciated

But all the eggs are fertile?

You wouldn’t think both roosters to have bad genes impossible of reproducing right?

You could try pairing those hens with a different rooster for a bit to see if you have success that way. Also try pairing those rooster to different hens, just to help troubleshoot.
