It’s heartbreaking for sure!! I got 18 eggs total and only one hatched naturally and the other I had to help. They’re both doing really fine so far but still, “handle with care” got ignored real bad. If there is a next time I’ll try and get some close by that I can get myself.
Baby chick is doing well after 10 hours!! A bit of splayed legs but I hope it’ll get better after a day. I’m so glad I intervened. I don’t think she would’ve made it out alive without help.
You were right!
I helped and it got out! Not too much blood at all. It seems ok for now 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Big brother (24 hrs old) wants to clean him it seems. That’s normal? Should I separate them at this point? I let him in the incubator to stimulate the other one at first.
One have hatched 27 hours ago and is doing very well! Another died at day 20-21 I think (now day 22.5), the air cell was saddled too. 6 eggs never made it past day 10 because of detached air cell that never reattached.
Hi all!
I read and re read and read again the thread about assisted hatching and decided that one chick needed it.
It started with chirping without internal pip and I could hear a lot of scratching inside. When candled I could see breathing movement. This lasted for 16+ hours without me doing...
Hi all! I’m Olivia and I live in Canada. I got my first chickens in may 2021 and I love it! I’m trying to hatch my first babies right now, can’t wait to see how that goes :)
Hey all!
So I’m on day 22 hatching chick eggs. I had one born 20 hours ago all good.
His brother egg has no external pip, no internal pip that I can see but I can hear chirping and scratching from inside the egg.
What should I do? I wonder if he has enough oxygen without taping the air cell??
