Ok don't buy any more chicks, buy an incubator and start buying eggs instead to hatch, it will feed your addiction longer and keep you busy with much to look forward to! buying chicks is a quicker fix, hatching eggs is a better addiction.
if your brooder is long enough hang the lamp at one end so the chicks can find the right spot for themselves, they can move toward or away from the heat, they will know and find the right spot for you and you won't have to worry. I have mine in a wire bunny type cage, the lamp at one end.
This might make you feel better
I put 31 serama eggs in and only 5.....yes 5! are developing, 5 out of 31! sucks! but hey, least something looks promising!
Hope your others hatch for you and you get some chicks to cuddle!
The good thing is the shipper did offer to send more eggs as not all of them will do that, you found a good seller, if the hatch goes well go back to the same seller and avoid the rif- raf. I have heard breeders talk about the bubble wrap suffocating the eggs that is the only negative I have...
I got 31 eggs recently and only 5 are developing well on day 15! only 5!!!!
I have some more ordered from different places, if they do not do well I am going to just buy some breeding pairs/trios and try the eggs from those.
I have noticed in my eggs if anything 'floats' it is a dead embryo, the live ones do move but are attached to the inside of the shell, I think when an embryo dies it separates from the wall and starts to appear to float around, take a good look at ai again and watch closely for any movement...
if you take a flashlight and shine it through the window in the incubator you will start to see very faint cracks in the shell, they can be hard to see at first, but look closely and I am sure you will see some little cracks starting,
what have your temperatures been and the humidity from the start of the hatch?
Did you candle your eggs at day 7-10 to check for development? and then again on day 18 to check the air cells?
The second egg looks very good, the first one is a dud if they are both 10 days old, crack it open and look to see if it was fertile or not or check for other signs, it is a good learning experience and you can learn to tell in future when you candle what is good and what is bad.
There is a dvd you can et all about chickens, a womans chicken went missing overnight in the freezing snow, she found it the next day, brought it inside warmed it up and gave it mouth to mouth and it came back to life.
wow looks like something had a big party inside that box! what a mess! I can only imagine your face when you opened up the box and saw that slop inside, I don;t know if i would laugh or cry if I got a box like that!
