How long did you wait for them to hatch, and did you keep the container or enclosed area humid at all times that you were waiting for them to hatch? Both the required temp and humidity is required for the eggs to keep moist but not dry out. Also please try to type uot a little slower. I can't fully understand what you are saying 100 percent clearly.

I've only been breeding crix for a few months. But its slows down alot as it gets cooler. I put an egg box with moist peat or potting soil in and leave it for 3-4 days. I then take it out, label it, and stack them on the shelves (about 68-75). Recently I moved the boxes down a shelf to on top of my mounted fleourescents and have had 2-3 day quicker hatch rates but less of a yeild.

From what I understand moisture in the soil medium is key, more so than temps. Try covering the eggbox while it is incubating to keep the moisture in. I only mist the soil once or twice during their incubation. If the coco isnt working you could try a different medium.

i have moisture in teh my box and its at 75 and tehy wont hatch its been 7 weeks
and its closed if I keep the eggs in an incubator at 90 f will they hatch in a week ????????????

The eggs will probably melt. The key here after you have everything set up is the everyday responsibilities to keeping it going and PATIENCE.
