Oh Lynda I'm so sorry. To think we all have to go though this again. Not as badly as you do of course but believe me we all go through it with you.

Oh that's terrible Lynda!!
You think it's been the dodgy temp at the beginning? It's odd, they appear to be developing so far, and then dying at a later stage.
Hopefully you'll get something from this attempt. If not - time to buy some day olds!

it's the only thing i can think of, the low temp puts them behind, , they are supposed to be out in 21 days, so if they are behind by a week, or more as in the first ones, then the yolk has probably run out of goodness to sustain them (i'm guessing here) so if its a day or 2 thats fine, cos chicks born at 21 days don't need to eat for 48 hours or so, because they absorb the yolk, if they are behind, then those 2 days worth of goodness will have been used up, so they won't have the energy to hatch...... so if i can keep the temperature right ...... so they are ready to hatch on day 21, then the theory is, they might actually hatch ........ can't think of any other reason ..... and this last one was definitely alive the other day.Comment
