Why???

[carmeninthecountry]

I have been hatching eggs for a LONG time and this year they are not hatching, not even developing!!

Why are my eggs not developing or dying before they hatch? what causes that?


I have not hatched but one chicken and it died a few days later because his legs were messed up...

Please someone help I candle I am doing everything I have always done and have not hatched why it is so frustrating I am about to give up

has the weather been different this year? or maybe your incubator is dying??

Did you sanitize it well after the last hatch? Sometimes bacteria can hang around in the incubator and cause problems. I would sanitize it really well before your next hatch.

Calibrate hygrometer?
Change in weather?
All shipped eggs?
Thermometer not working right?
Diificult breeds to hatch?
