The chick didn't make it, the second chick seems to be absorbing it's sac. Another chick pipped halfway around and died.... I have never had this much trouble!!! Temps seemed stable, I dont know. I'll be patient and see how the rest do....

Ok, What the heck? I've got some chicks hatching out now, as we speak, ~ 19/20 days in, temp has been steady at 99-100, dry hatch w/ humidity at maybe 30%.  started lockdown 36 hours ago, increased humidity to ~ 70%, temps still...

Can you post a picture?

I had baby turkeys and baby chicks together till they were grown with no problems. Its an old wives tale about turkeys looking up in the rain and drowning... Kind of like kissing a toad under a full moon to get rid of warts.....

Thanks so much, keeping my fingers crossed they turn out to be hens 

Had you just washed the incubator? If you have not put the eggs in yet, open the lid and let it air out for a couple of hours. Mine did the same thing after I cleaned it and closed it up to set the temp.

Thats awesome!! Congrats! In my experience, having the chicks bang the eggs sometimes encourages the others to pip... at least thats what I tell myself. Cant wait to see pics!

Does anyone know which is wheaten and which is partridge? They are penedesencas..

Anyone out there know their penedesencas?

I hatched out some wheaten and partridge penedesenca chicks, but now I don't know which is which. Can anyone help me identify them? Thanks
