Trouble hatching

[Crazychickengirl2]

I have a KEBONNIXS incubator and in the beginning it had almost %100 hatch rate but after I put duck eggs in there the hatch rate has gone down drastically and I haven’t changed anything. I put 12 chicken eggs in there probably about 3 (?) weeks ago and only one chick hatched and survived. 5 others hatched but died while/ almost immediately after hatching. All but one had mostly grown into the egg and had no egg white. I did an eggtopsy and they looked perfectly fine, they also hatch 2 or 3 days late. Here’s three different eggs that never started to hatch.(ignore my blu koted hands)

I think it might be the hydrometer and temp the one we just bought from Amazon is reading 62% and 89.6 degrees but the incubator is reading 100.5 and 51%

But before I left it was starting to get more accurate

I've owned several brands of incubator, and the displays are inaccurate to some extent on all of them. I think you already figured out what the issue may be.

Best of luck with your next hatch!

Also I have a question with the 4 eggs that as soon as they hatched how long did you keep them in the incubator

Probably 24 hours but they never walked around they all just layed there (only 3 made it out of the eggs)

where did you get the eggs

Never hatched eggs from chickens that aren’t mine except 12 but most of those hatched

I don’t know how accurate that hydrometer would be tho cus we got it off of Amazon
