Did you open the eggs that didn't hatch?

You know it doesn't matter how many times I hatch I still get just as excited as my first time.

Congrats on you hatch.

ya i candled them and they were obviously dead so i opened all of them and it looks like they died around day 18, none had pipped the air cel

and i know the feeling, i stagger my hatches so i have small hatches every week and i get soo excited

I wonder what happens on day 18? It seems like so many of them die then. I think in the spring I may do an experiment and not raise my humidity and leave it at 50. I'll see what happens. They are my eggs so I won't be losing anything.

Your babies are sooooo cute.

theres a thread on here that talks about an expieriment that was conducted where they lowered the temp a degree on day 16, and that supposedly helped. i run staggered hatches in the same bator so unfortunantly i cant try that experiment or i would lose the eggs on earlier days
