I just finished day 24 of our hatch, we only had 2 chicks hatch out of 7 eggs. I cannot figure out where we went wrong. Our temperature was consistently 37.5-37.8 C in our auto turning incubator, humidity was kept at 55% since we live in the desert. I then put them into lockdown in our Little Giant Incubator on day 18, temps here were 99.5-100 F, and humidity was kept at 75-80%. I had two little ameraucana chicks hatch on day 21 and day 22, then nothing. I candled the eggs before locking them down and there were definitely chicks in there.
Other things to note, the breeds that did not hatch were 3 polish chicks and 1 seabright bantam and one ameraucana. The eggs were also shipped from Idaho, we are in Utah.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, breaks my heart to not have these guys hatch : (
