What happened to my eggs?

[Dfarago]

I got an incubator to hatch out my Jersey Giant eggs. First time using an incubator. Out of 11 eggs 6 seem to not be doing anything (maybe infertile). 4 we’re developing then all the blood vessels seemed to detach and pool in the same spot. And one is maybe coming along properly. I have pictures I’ll add to this thread. I’m wondering if maybe the incubator is doing something wrong. Idk if it matters but I live in the Mojave desert.

We’ve been keeping the eggs at 99.5 degrees and around 50% humidity like the instructions suggest. Sometimes the humidity fluctuates because we use a swamp cooler.

How far along? Most look like quitters or clears.

They’re supposed to hatch on the fifth of this month

Any idea why this happened? Is the incubator maybe overturning the eggs?

I'm sorry, I'm not very experienced with incubation. Were they shipped eggs? Did you calibrate your incubator?

do you have a calibrated thermometer/hygrometer in there? is that the nurture right 360 incubator? I know mine is off in temperature and a bit on humidity. I have to have mine set at 100.5 to have it be 99.5 on average in there. It isn't that it is turning too much as many of us have had great hatches from them. Not sure if the temp being off would cause them to quit?

They’re from my jersey giants. And yes we calibrated the incubator

How old are your Jersey Giants?
