If I set my eggs on 3-20-10....Wouldn't they be hatching like now?

They are past due, have you candled?

 

[ravencreek]

I don't have the best luck in candling. I know I had some clear eggs that I had to remove and some with blood rings but others had veins and moving little babies last week. Of course the little babies seemed REALLY small for how far along they were. Only about the size of a quarter kinda small.


ETA: Should I just toss them?

If you can't candle, you should sacrifice 1 or 2 to see where they are at. Yes, it's messy and destructive, but if you don't find a chicks, it will tell you if you need to scrap the mission. So sorry.

What type of eggs did you set?

What's your temp & humidity?

 

[ravencreek]

My late Turken roo, White Giant roo, Light Brahma roo and a Buff Orp roo over Turken, BR, Welsummer, Buff orp, and Light Brahma hens. So not that I paid for them or anything I was just hoping to get a baby from my Turken roo.

Well I am using a styrofoam HovaBator with an auto turner. Temps have fluxed between 98/101. No clue on humidity except that I kept the slots full plus a sponge and I added water to a sponge as needed.

With the hovabator you only need the center channel full and that typically keeps the humidity at 50-55%. My guess would be to candle again and see if there is any progress from the last time you candled
