    We have had a bit of yolk in our last batch egg but chick survived and now laying its own eggs so hopefully yours will be fine . We have two eggs that have piped now (can not really see one i can only see a line not sure if its pencil or not !!!) Hovering over the incubator every minute LOL.:)

    You said a while back that your chickens leg broke because the boy was to rough but i do not have a boy chicken , a cockrail!!!so I'm saying that one day it appeared to have a broken leg which is a sign of mareks disease . I wouldn't hurt my animals . My pictures never show any thing :(

    I had one like that up side down feet over its leg we helped it just in time but was week and when a dog envaded the garden it didnt defend itself . They rarely make it any way ,some people say if they don't make it through hatch they will not make it through life .But i never listen to this...
