They were though both ready to hatch because they had pulled completely down the clear sack that surrounds them. If they had what you feel were large yolk sacks, than that would mean your humidity is to low. When the clear sack is gone and embryos struggle, it's very easy for them to get upsidedown. For the future Andy, the next time you see an egg like this and it hasn't hatched it's time to go in.

Heartbreaking photos Andy. I'm really sorry these little ones didn't make it.

It does look like your humidity got to low. When that happens embryos will pull down the clear sack too soon and try to hatch with a large yolk sack.

Really sorry to see this Andy. Hope you are ok. Poor little babies were just so tiny. It's so sad to see them so close to hatching.

Double checked Humidity and it is averaging about 85% + or - 2% with three different hydrometers? Temp is very stable as well. On the larger one the inner membrane had pulled down. The only other thing I can think of is I moved them 10 days ago into an other incubator as I had run out of room in my other one.? Temp here was 31c compared to the 29c in the other incubator. This never had any effect on my other three that hatched a couple days previously so still scratching my head. Thanks again everyone Andy |
