    Help sexing a 5 week Silver Penciled Rock

    Does it have anything to do with tail feathers? My silver baby's tail is sticking up... But my partridge baby's tail looks like the one in your picture... Laying down.

    So I lost my Lil guy with the shell butt... Never made it through the night... The other cone stuck in the egg is chirping but is also really stuck in the shell. I've added the wet paper towel around the shell twice. I don't know what more I can do except start taking the shell off myself...

    Well finally separated from shell. While I was in there I added water to the sponges too. Humidity jumped! Maybe that help as well. Now on to the next one!!!

    I just went in and tried to help.. I might have made it worse... The shell is really stuck to the Lil chick.. I broke off as much as possible and dampen the shell.. Thinking that it might soften up so the chick could shake it off. Also helped the other Lil chick as well but idk about that one...

    Well that first pipped egg is done... It's shrink wrapped, not moving . One is almost out. It can't shake the shell off its butt. I have one other and I'm not sure. I think I'm going in. This was a bad catch for me. I never got to candle so all the eggs are in there 30 and only 3 so far have...

    I place a sturdy box under the whole incubator so I don't open it. Not under the egg carton .

    I don't open my Baylor and I don't have a turner but I place a box under one side then switch it up to the other side. This way less heat escapes. I like it a lot better . Melinda
