I'm almost done with my hatch but it's been very weird and I'm wondering if any one has experienced this. First dozen + were normal and they just popped out. Toward the end of day 21 I had one hatch and the liquid in the egg looked bubbly. The chick ended up glued in the shell and I had to assist. Same thing with next two chicks. One died in the shell! drowned it looks and the other got out and then stuck...dried to the floor of the incubator. I had to soften him up with water to get him off. His feathers feel like they were gelled and slicked down. Any ideas?
Oh the one little guy who was stuck IS pink. I put food coloring in the water so I can see if it is low. Normally I use blue. Not thinking I used pink which looks like blood. Luckily he hasn't been pecked. The others are some Serema and Cochin.
