YAY Ethel!! CONGRATS!!

was there any follow up to those chicks? how long did they live?

my nerves can't handle it either! I keep checking back to see you chicks!

my chick (the lone survivor) looks very much like your chicks, what are they? I'm a little confused.

I could kvetch about incubators. I need to find the quintessential incubator (because none of my hens are broody right now). I need one that keeps the humidity and the temp right without me having to check it every five minutes. My poor chicks are suffering because I couldn't get the humidity...

this has been the worst hatch ever. My second chick has unabsorbed yolk sack. She's perky but she has that little sack hanging off her belly. Should I leave her in the incubator until it's absorbed? Will it absorb? I've read on here that you can tie it off with dental floss. Anyone else ever...

Congrats so far!! Are you going to put up pictures soon? My chick is doing MUCH better, I gave her the yolk mixed with probiotic and vitamin powder, and she did start to perk right up, and her eyes are open now!! She's much more stable and exploring. My last remaining egg out of 18 is still...

Thank DBS (darkbluespace) I'll relax. Do you think she's a sussex? I can try for a more detailed picture. She's standing up but eyes are still closed.

yikes mine was at 70. I hear chirping but no pip yet, will bringing the humidity down help?

what should the humidity be when they're in lockdown? Maybe mine is too high? Also i just hand fed the chick with what I had yolk and pro-biotic, getting some vitamin today. Thanks for the advice.

I hear a chick in another egg, but nothing for hours no pip. My hatched chick wont make it. She had both eyes open and then one eye closed and now both eyes closed. She's lethargic, it's not looking good.

here's my only chick (so far - hope the other two hatch too) it's kind of hard to tell it's face is turned away resting on the other egg. It has kind of like a hump on its neck... not sure what that is. there are no pips or sound coming from the other eggs.

I have a zipper! The chick that pipped had a good rest and now has zipped and is cheeping loudly. No noise at all from the other two eggs.

I know what you mean! my egg (only one out of three) pipped this morning about 6:00 I hear chirping inside. I don't hear anything from the other eggs yet. It's 2 now and no zipping yet.... praying for you

Congrats on the chicks!!!!!! I have a pip and some chirping in one egg!

Thanks Kada6305 and darkbluespace, I was getting ahead of myself. Hopefully my next post will be pictures of chicks!

I need a little hope, has anyone had their chicks hatch at the last minute? Sept 3 would be day 23. When should I give up?

no pips, I thought I heard faint chirping. The temp is good the humidity is steady 65-70 but nothing so far

LOCKDOWN!! my remaining three out of 18 had signs of life two days ago, I listened to them this morning but didn't hear anything, my candler sucks so I couldn't see any movement in side. I've got them in the carton, temp is okay, struggling to get the humidity past 60. we'll see how it...
