Why didn’t these eggs hatch ?

[Chicken Newbie07]

Hatching eggs in the incubator can be tricky, especially when your incubator does not have an automatic egg turner.
Temperature and humidity also play a big role in successfully hatching eggs.

Watch this video so you don’t make the same mistakes I’ve made in the past & that way you can have a better chance of hatching!

Thanks for the video!

How many eggs did you set and how many hatched?

Interesting, but you didn't explain why you think each egg didn't hatch. They aren't all due to not turning eggs, and how can you know? One developed a lot further than the others. It would be great if you added more analysis.

This is very true!

I read an article about turning and it said people did not turn eggs until sometime in the 1950s.

It is important and will lower hatch rates but should not kill all of the hatch.

I feel like I'm critiquing it without being asked to, but the thread title was so authoritative that I had high expectations that I was really going to learn something here! I can open my own failed hatching eggs, but am still none the wiser as to why they failed.

You can tell by using the hatch analyser. Based on the condition and day of death, there are more likely causes.

Thanks!!
