eggs shrinking but not hatching one pipped but didnt hatch it just caved in.it already happened to two eggs i think they died but they never came out of the egg...they sweated and every thing but no cham popped out...:(:(:(...i had 4 eggs...what i explained happened to the first two...and the other 2 are still there one shrunk and was sweating earlier but is still just sitting there so i dont and the other one is still plumped...any one know whats going on???:confused::confused::confused:
 
how long have the eggs been incubating? what were the incubation temperatures? make sure the moisture level is not too high - that can cause that as well.
 
How long did they sweat for?
how long since they dented in?

they only sweated for like a day or two before denting...i had 4 and theres only one left the other ones just shrunk sweated and dented then nothing...i only have one left from that clutch and its started to shrink today...the others are done i think...they didnt pip or nothing just shrunk sweated and dented...:(:(:(

they have been incubating since jan 11 ,12 ...at first the incubating temps were 70 to 75 then we moved and its been really hot lately like in the 80s but just like a week ago we got ac's and i managed to get the eggs tems back down...i dont think there too moist...
 
how long has it been since they shrank? starting from the first egg to the last. They slowly absorb the yolk and that could take a day or 2 before they come out

it took each one like a day and a half to two days to shrink...and they all kinda shrank back to back...i only have one egg left from that first clutch the others just shrank dented and didn't hatch ...oh yeah i had 4 ...then i have 23 from the same female from the 2nd clutch ...but thoes haven't even plumpped up yet...

The eggs are sensitive to temps above 80, so that probably is the reason.
