Desiree Schnars @desireeschnars 1 hour ago edited I have available 2 flocks. I am having knee surgery next week and have been trying other avenues to rehome them with no luck. I am hoping to keep each flock together. My significant other is not able to assist while I am recovering and don't...

Weare hatched Since I place dit with the other we pushed our way out this morning. thank ffor all the tips. I'll keep you posted ed on our final egg. Once it has hatched hpefuly.by mom IL retuen these to her and place them on their own room for some time..

I had him in his lower part of the shell until the yolk was absorbed. He/she kicked it off this morning. It now has a friend in an egg still... mom pulled more shell off and I wasn't going to take the chance... So @Miss Lydia @Luv Ducks , I have a question. I've never had this situation...

Well all this is where we have made it!!! Wow he/shw pushed out today but seems still attached to the egg as suspected... I assume not done absorbing yet? Peeping.. and moving around a bit. Any advice.. looks frustrating that they can't get out of the shell. But I am assuming it's needed....

Yes yawning and chewing... just hoping since mom removed half the shell it Dilantin pop too early... if ao will it stay attached to the yolk sac until it's ready?

I have removed the water. And will keep you posted. It was trying to push out today so hoping it foes by tonight!!!

I bwlive still absorbing the yolk and hasn't made any attempts as of yet. Breathing heavily

No amd I have done nothing but put coconut oil on the exposed membrane and placed it on the straw.... the water was for something else. But gave me the idea if humidity in the house

When I've assisted before I've had to give a drop of water at the end of the beak. But that's after they've been stuck over 24 hours inside the shell.. sorry it didnt attach... here it is

Thank-you yes. Being very careful. When I bring it inside this evening we will be using a lamp. It is a small heat lamp with a 75 watt bulb. I will not have it directly on the little one but close. Our house is pretty chilly we keep it at 69... so , i Know it will be needed. Seeing as out...

Thank you I appreciate all the info. Is the coconut oil ok to use... we have another today that she's done this with....this one seems to be doing ok so far.i am wondering if the light was too much for the other one yesterday? It was already 90 and then u have to factor in humidity so that...

Update: the little one didn't make it. We had it In The box under light. I used coconut oil to keep the outer membranes from drying out. Had in laying in straw. And we noticed Its breathing was slowing.. and we had to keep nudginIt r to br e ath. Eventually. It just stopped ☹️ I'm sad to say...

I don't see a presence except when I was in there and I looked thru the nest to make sure there was nothing awry elsewhere. What is this stuff you are speaking of and where do I Get it.? It wouldn't be bad to have on hand or is there something else I can use?.

Yes I have found the last 2 of 3 when it was too late. The other one from today , had much of its shell missing and only membrane left and was unfortunately full of ants. One prior, she squished. She is an Ancona, Smaller for her breed.. but still Ancona. It has open and closed its mouth...

Yea technically she is a first time.mom I took her eggs last time and put them in an incubator but let her have them after they all hatched and were 2 days old. So she really hasn't done this before.. yes there are 3 eggs left.i candles them when she was off the nest and they are almost fully...
