Went out to find two little keets peeking out. I haven't lifted her up to see how many have hatched, but at least 2 out of 6 for sure.

Using various roosters. Clear eggs are not the issue. :idunno

I've hatched and raise birds for decades and have never, ever, in all those years seen issues like this. Same incubators, same incubating, hatching and brooding process...even with my broodies the hatches are not as they usually are. I've noticed the feed doesn't smell like it used to. Not bad...

Thanks 😊 He finally decided to ditch it as I was putting him back in the hatcher.

Sheldon has been carrying around his shell since late this morning. It's not attached by anything I can see and the egg sac is completely absorbed.

😥 I wish I knew. I'm running into the same issue. I have never had less than an 80% hatch with my own (the lowest hatch rate included a 10-hr power outage and was just over 80%), and most of my hatches prior to this year were 100%. Even with shipped eggs I've rarely had less than an 80% hatch...

The Ayam Cemani all hatched yesterday and the guineafowl are hatching today. I staggered them so that they were to hatch the same day, but apparently one group didn't get the memo, lol.

All five of the Ayam Cemani eggs have hatched! I'm hoping for at least a couple pullets as I have a young cockerel already. Excited to add these to my flock. 🖤

We're officially on lockdown, with 5 Ayem Cemani eggs and 14 guineafowl eggs.
