    Wha the heck is happening?!

    Well, I opened the last 3 eggs, all had saddle aircells on lockdown, but I think they actually died right before lockdown and that made the aircell weird. One had a liquid yolk, the second was a normal yolk, the third was most developed and its yolk was even half absorbed. No shrink wrap, no...

    Wha the heck is happening?!

    I checked on him about an hour after the last photo and he seemed to be panting and chirping but sounded really upset so I decided to keep helping. Picked off more shell bits and pulled back more membrane. Never saw any blood, chick pushed out while i was rewetting the last bits of membrane...

    Wha the heck is happening?!

    Its been 24 hours since first pip, I panicked and decided to help. Wrapped chick in warm wet paper towel and picked off some shell around the pip, dabbed water on edges and folded back what I could then placed it back in the incu and misted walls with hot water. I dont know what Im doing!!!

    Wha the heck is happening?!

    So one chick has pipped, on the smaller end of course, nothing from the others yet, today at 3pm is day 28 (AKA hatch day). The membrane directly around the beak was brown as soon as I found it, the edges were white, I think its dried out already. I put a hot wet square of a washcloth chunk in...

    Wha the heck is happening?!

    Day 1 of lock down is today, I filled the two middle chambers fully with water per Brinsea instructions. Should I be worried then that the chicks are getting shrink wrapped? I can add more moist material to up the humidity, I know turkeys like it really high for hatch like 80% or so, but Id...

    Wha the heck is happening?!

    No they were not shipped and the air cells were normal 3 days ago. Im not sure what happened but it definitely happened either when I switched them to the other incubator or when I was turning them, can you turn eggs wrong? What would cause normal air cells to morph that close to hatch?

    Wha the heck is happening?!

    So Ive been incubating 6 turkey eggs in a Styrofoam type incubator with an auto turner, it rocks them vertically. Everything looked normal. I moved them to a mini eco advanced and laid them on their sides for hand turning. I turned 3x a day, X rolls to the right and O roll back to the left. I...
