I know what you mean. I'm in the middle of a hatch right now. Day 22 and day 20. 14 have hatched so far with 1 DIS, it zipped about 1/2 to 3/4 the way around and then there was a crack running down the shell. When I investigated the chick had moved towards the small end and suffocated. :(

I kept all eggs are still in the bator until I can be sure. Air cells did look small so I'm going to run without any...

Oh good, thank you!

Question, I'm new to this and I've read conflicting views. I have a forced air incubator. Should I add water to it initially or not? Eggs went in on Sunday and I did add water. I was going to see what the air sack looked like on day 7 to determine if more water needs to be added or not.

OMG! How precious!
