Should they be hatching by now

[kajhurley]

After seeing the one that had internally pipped, should i assume the rest will be doing the exact same thing??

Not necessarily, you may get some to hatch. I would keep them in a little longer before tossing just in case.

I was thinking maybe opening them all up on friday... sound good to you???

 

[Stellar]

That works, unless you get some hatches before then!

Could not wait any longer. I opened them all up to find only 5 out of 50 fertile. (Young breeders) One fully developed and the rest died really early in development. Had beaks and feet an all just really small. What you think?

 

[Stellar]

You said they are young breeders? What are you feeding the breeders? If Riboflavin, vitamin E, or calcium is lacking, it can cause DIS or partially developed. Infertile eggs could be the cause of improper lighting as well in the breeding area or the ambient temperature was too high.

I am thinking the humidity could be an issue but now as you opened the eggs up, ventilation or just the age of the birds could be the issue at this point.

about to set 80 more. what do you recommend for me to do different???
