The Sweetgrass eggs have been 3 for 6 since pretty much the beginning (shipped eggs) and the Narragansett eggs from zoo are 5 for 6. Only one that isn't going from that bunch was cracked.
I just know my hatch rates seem to be fricking awesome. Remember, Miracle, Hope, and Wonder had this same issue. I left their incubator open a couple of times, and their humidity was super-low (16 anyone?), plus they arrived with detached air cells, but they still hatched. And as much as I'm abusing these turkey eggs, they're still hatching too.
My issue seems to be keeping the birds once I move them OUTSIDE (unless it's McMurray chicks, then they die in the brooder before ever seeing the light of day). But hatch rate is well above normal for me!
