Well i didn’t do what everybody was saying. It’s doing a lot better and I realized it’s head isnt actually backwards it’s just formed wrong. It’s trying to walk around now but has trouble holding it’s head up

well I think it also had to do with humidity issues because I only had it at 45 the entire 21 days. Most of the chicks hatched out of the wrong side of the egg. Could the humidity cause that? (I added the graphic part, sorry)

GRAPHIC!!! well I had a chick hatch 3 days late and it struggled to get out. It hatched this morning and I didn’t see it until this afternoon. It’s head is literally on backwards. It’s not going to live but I don’t know what to about not letting it suffer. It can’t even walk.

Update!!! I candles them and found out which were bad (28) :( but the rest had something in them but no movement or chirping. Put small cracks in a few and nothing ran out of them or anything but I didn’t break it to where I could see inside. Could the problem be to much crumble or laying...

Thank you, I’m trying to keep my hopes up!!! I think the temp was fine the whole time (99.5) but the humidity ran about 45 the whole time which I think is low. It’s up to about 61 now.

today is day 22 and I filled the incubator with 48 eggs and we’ve only had 4 hatch and 1 didn’t make it due to being formed at the wrong end of the egg. I don’t see anything happening with the other eggs as far as signs of there being chicks inside. I did not candle them at any point. Is it too...
