got eggs in the incubator

[Denim Deb]

I still don't have any chicks.

I'm sorry

And, still nothing. But, unless I can't find any that I want, I'll have chicks this weekend. Just means that I'll be buying them instead. And, the incubator will be sold. This is the THIRD TIME I've gotten nothing.

What kind? Do you have a hygrometer?

A Little Giant. And, I went out and got a hygrometer and a new thermometer B4 I ever put eggs in it this time. Today was day 21. I don't hear anything, and don't see anything.

Fertility maybe? I have a LG, its 2nd hatch is in a week. If I don't have better results its getting sold, and I'm getting a Hovabator. With my LG they'd pip but never zip all the way. I got temp to high. People around here mist their eggs in the LG. Maybe try that?

Give them about 3 more days then crack them open if they don't hatch! That's the best way to tell what went wrong. My old LG wasn't the best but I filled it with ziplock bags of water and wrapped it in a towel and forgot about it and had a great hatch before. So that's what I started doing. I also didnt add any water because we are in a humid climate already. If the humidity is too high then they get too big to hatch.

Last time I just burnt mine up last time :/ I'm gonna do better this time.

I've got eggs from hens other than mine just so I could check to see if it's a fertility problem. And, if they don't hatch, I'll be opening them up. I've never even seen any evidence that they've done any developing.

Candled them too?

I had bad luck with the LG I had. So I got a sportsman. That thing is great! Never verys the temp. And out of the first 12 eggs I had in 6 hatched and 6 were not fertle. Out of the next 24= 13 were fertle, 1 piped on the wrong end and died, and 3 didn't hatch, when I opened them they looked ready to hatch so...??? But got 15 chicks of 19 fertle eggs.

I've had no luck candling them. I can't tell if I'm seeing anything or not. I'll think I'm seeing something, but when I open it up, there's nothing there but the yolk. That's why I have 2 of the eggs that I do in there-they have white shells. One of them looked like it had a chick, the other, I wasn't so sure about. But, I've heard of others complaining about the LG. Hubby wishes he had never bought it. If he had known it was styrofoam, he wouldn't have bought it.
