What did i do wrong

[Pekin747]

I set 40 eggs in a briense octagon incubater and only have 5 out and maybe another 2 on the way
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had good or bad hatch rates out this incubater

 

[dougieee]

Brinsea are one of the best, and i dont know anyone that has had a bad experience with them so unless it was set up wrong or faulted its unlikely to be that.
More info needed, for a start how many were infertile to beging with (after candling show no growth at all)?
How many were blood ringed (started development but quit)?
How many are fully formed but DIS (dead in shell)?

Were the eggs shipped?

I've had the incubater for 2 years I've never changed the set up other than I hand turn as the cradle broke but I've had good hatch rates hand turning in other incubators
There was 5 with no form of life at all
I'd say 6 with some development but looked to stop after the one week
And I've 6 hatched now 1 I was able to bring around there the rest r all dead in shell
I've dumped most b I can get a picture of what they all loled like but it's very graphic I think

No 20 of the eggs where layed by my own birds and 20 I got from my a friend who lives 10mins away but I collected them myself from his place and I've had really good hatch rates from him in the past

I dont have any idea what could have gone wrong but am so sorry for your loss, sad that they all made it that far without hatching out.

What about humidity and temperature? Does the Brinsea have its own thermostat and hygrometer? I would might start there and check accuracy of those things first. Otherwise I have no idea. I'm sorry for the losses you're having.

It does after the lock down I'll get something to test the accuracy of it and thanks it could have just been a very bad ser at this point just hoping 6 that hatch havenr had any problem that will affect them now

I hope they're all fine too!
