Sorry about the DIS, it's never fun. I always worry that if I had just checked on the remaining eggs sooner, I might have saved them, I try to be hands off hatcher.The one in my clutch that died in the shell was a maran. Poor little thing. Good luck with your hatch, hope it all goes smoothly.
Thanks, it was my one and only hatch, I knew (and still know) nothing. I left it to my girls to handle it and they handled it beautifully. The shell was broken open, I think one of the girls might have pecked at it instead of the baby trying to get out, I really don't know what happened. I didn't know anything about helping, what I'd read was to leave them alone because they can bleed if you start "interfering". If I ever hatch again, I'll know a little bit more and perhaps be able to intervene if it's necessary, but I'm in the suburbs so I can't be overrun with chickens and am unlikely to hatch more in the short term.Sorry about the DIS, it's never fun.

I'm in the city too. I have 13 properties that touch mine. I'm overrun and not zoned for chickens, so I know i need to cut back and sell what I have before I hatch more. But I have so much fun hatching. Not so much selling.Thanks, it was my one and only hatch, I knew (and still know) nothing. I left it to my girls to handle it and they handled it beautifully.
