what was your heat? low heat causes slow hatch, glad you go side tracked and didn't throw them awayI was calling this hatch a scratch. 21 days was at noon yesterday. No movement. No pips no noise. Figured I'd give them a couple days and then scratch it
Got home from Easter with my family and I can hear peeping from the incubator. I only see one pip but it sure is a vocal little chick. Yea!!! Maybe they're just gonna be a couple days late. Lol
DUCK FACES!!!! AAAAAAAHH!!
I actually posted these here just for you haha. Since i saw how much you love duckies These don't count for the EHAL so ive been posting their progress in the February March thread.

I don't know but I'm not sure if 2-3 degrees will make that much difference unless your running a low temp to start with, calibrate your thermometerThere was a couple times throughout these 3 weeks when my temp dipped down a 2-3 degrees. Im really happy to hear peeping. And you're right being side tracked was a huge help. Admittedly I spent most of Friday and Saturday standing over my incubator
mlmmike did you see my final count? It is 13.Hey Mike, my final hatch count is 13.
I started 30 eggs, 17 went into lockdown. I did eggtopsies on the four that didn't hatch. Two BCMs were in the wrong position so couldn't pip. Another BCM pipped internally but never externally; felt really bad about this one and wish I had intervened sooner. The other DIS was a silkie that was in position with it's beak pressed against the internal membrane, so sad.
I am very happy to have the 12 healthy chicks, but I have one silkie with wry neck. I ground up one of my multivitamins (containing selenium and vit E along with others), made a solution and have been dosing the chick every couple hours. I'm also giving it a little boiled egg yolk with vit E mixed in. It does seem to help but wears off in a couple hours.
The hatch includes one EE/SF ,five silkies, one polish, two Buff Orp, one SF/Coch
