Hi Ratter

Dead in shells can happen for a number of reasons, humidity being the main one

Presume you stopped turning day 18 etc...

HAd the eggs travelled in the post, that can also effect hatch rates

Did you lift the lid to remove 1st chick as this will drop humidity and cause chicks to dry and stick to shell stopping them hatching
