Almost Self-Reliant
Next time you will have a little more experience! Everytime something goes wrong it is a learning experience and it goes wrong with ALL of us. I should be a professional by now with as many unexpected things I've had go wrong with incubating and hatching, but I'm still learning too. My main problem here was it is already a humid climate and I was told you HAD to keep water in the incubator and I lost so many fully formed beautiful chicks that would pip and never hatch or never even pip. When I would break open the eggs there would be perfectly formed chicks ready to hatch dead in the shell because they got too big for the shell and couldn't maneuver around to pip and zip. I dropped my incubating humidity and started getting almost 100% hatches sometimes (provided nothing else went wrong! )
