Quitters? Dead eggs?

[The ChickInn egg supply]

Candled the eggs today, the 14th day in the incubator. I already had a quitter on day 7, but I think I might have 3 more. thoughts?

They look infertile to me. But with pictures it's hard to see veins. They should have a 2 to 3 inch chick(will look dark) and lots of veins. But I don't see any of that.

Do you have a different light. I am not fond of the nr369 candler. ( tried it and it didn't seem to work as good as a regular candler IMO) may help you see better.

On day 7 I did see veins and movement in the last two but it doesn’t look like they’ve developed since then. Why does this happen?

Quitters. How many do you have left?

What incubator are you using?
What is the temperature in the incubator?
What is the humidity in the incubator?
Do you have a calibrated thermometer hygrometer(I at least have 2 or 3 in mine)?

Thats where we need to start..

Nurture right 360, brand new. Has stayed steady at 99.5 F. And has stayed between 48 and 55% humidity. No calibrated thermometer, from what I’ve researched the one in the incubator is supposed to be reliable.

I am currently hatching from the same incubator. Yes it does seem very accurate. But still need an extra one just incase.

As for the quitters, idk many reasons they could have quit.

Where did you get the eggs?
How old were they before starting to incubate?

That's not to bad then. Hopefully the rest hatch!
