Also, I'm emailing Plum Run back today. It's been over 2 weeks since I heard anything.

I'm still trying to figure that out LaLoca. Happened to me, SM, CG.. countless others. I just don't get it.

Thanks everyone.I'm pretty upset about losing them all like that. Makes me wonder if I should have pipped a little hole for them when I saw they were internally pipped.

So, what could have gone wrong? There must be something I did, otherwise I would have had more than 1 surviving chick out of 69 eggs! They were all shipped eggs, but 28 of the 69 made it to lockdown, and 26 of those died in the shell, fully formed.

I have 2 Hovabator still-air incubators. I had an auto turner for incubation and laid them on their sides for hatching. Temp and humidity conditions were:

temp for incubation - approx 100 +/- 1 degree
temp for hatching - same
humidity for incubation - 40 to 50%
humidity for hatching - 65 to 75%

It looks to me like everything was as it should be, but then why such bad results?

Hi everyone. My computer has been acting up so I haven't been on for a while. How is everything going?

Everything looks good to me. Did you calibrate your hygrometer to make sure it was right?

That's getting ridiculous. They should have given you your money back by now, or sent eggs.

Hey Wulf!!

Ok good. Glad someone else thinks so too.

Hey. I was just trying to catch up some but I am probably way too far behind for that

They should at least stay in contact with you. You followed the directions on their web site, they got the money even I'm sure, they should have fixed the problem. If they don't email back within 48 hours or so I'd file a dispute with paypal.

Yeah... I probably wouldn't bother. LOL.
