The Anticipation is Too Much!
Well the saga is over guys, the chick died. -

I did some searching, it looks like wry neck maybe? -
The Anticipation is Too Much!
I made a hammock to sling around my neck and kept it in there for most of yesterday, which kept it close and from crying, and kept my hands free to do things! I'll definitely try the duster/pom pom idea tonight. New worry: Chick does not seem to be doing well...I moved the brooder to its... -
The Anticipation is Too Much!
Thanks!! I have also already stayed up, sort of... the chick's been crying in the brooder when I'm not there (or my hand), so I spent the night with it under my cupped hand. Unfortunately, I can't be there all the time with work and stuff. Definitely thinking about a pal, but any tips for the... -

Chick is still alive (at least as of this morning)! I'm worried it's not eating/drinking enough, but it's pooped 3 or 4 times, so I think has been a bit. I've got multicolored marbles in the drinking well (I did notice it pecks at the red ones more!) and food scattered pretty much everywhere. -

IT'S ZIPPING IT'S ZIPPING!! I'm glued to my incubator watching it peck it's way around -

Yes!! Not a big crack, but I saw one when I checked this morning before leaving for work! This chick likes making me wait, ugh Good luck on your future incubation, I'll definitely follow along if you've got a thread going :D -

Ahaha, sorry, I was very sleep deprived, but you got it exactly!! Just the one! Thanks! -

Thanks for the head's up dpenning! It does have less surface area than the main reservoir, but I think the opening is wide enough to raise it to lockdown levels. I tested it briefly pre-incubating (I had no eggs, but wanted to put SOMETHING in there). Plus, as a jar, I was thinking it would... -

Also, I am not a chicken at all, at the moment. I have zero chill, ahaha. Aww, I hope I have better luck this time and get to hold a live fluffball poopmachine! (Don't worry, I've since found a better *tall* container to be my second water reservoir for lockdown) -
The Anticipation is Too Much!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster!!! So, full confession. I initially just put one egg in, because I had incredible luck the first time I incubated (popped in a test egg, hatched a chick...but I was at work and couldn't supervise it, and by the time I... -
The Anticipation is Too Much!
Ahaha, oh I plan to! This is where I get to release the valve on that anticipation. :barnie -

Aaaand in! By the end of today, it'll be day 3. Four days until I can candle, and two weeks until estimated hatch time. Arrrghhhhhh, waiting!
