    HELP!! Pipping already at day 18?!

    They didn't hatch. On eggtopsy the chicks were fully formed, the veins on the inner membrane turned brown and the fluid surrounding the chicks in that membrane was the colour of maple syrup. Yolk was nearly gone but the chicks were 'stiff'. They hadn't moved for 24hrs or more and failed the...

    My day 18 hatcher died yesterday. That left me with a lone little one we named Moet. I have just picked up these new day olds! Meet Chandon, Dom Perignon, Bollinger, Lanson & Louis de Sacy! Thankyou to all who offered advice and support xx

    HELP!! Pipping already at day 18?!

    No, only had the 2 hatch. But I have 2 eggs in the incy I'm hanging out on. Saw them rocking yesterday. They 'passed' the float test but didn't see movement until after I put them back in the incy. Being day 24 now, I'm not hopeful.

    HELP!! Pipping already at day 18?!

    I think it's the outer membrane? And because this one hatched late day 18 things didn't get a chance to do as they should.

    HELP!! Pipping already at day 18?!

    I hope so! It's abdo does look enlarged, but time will only tell. Still looks 'wet' on its head and body. It was defiantly in a rush to get out!

    HELP!! Pipping already at day 18?!

    It does look like the yolk is gone. It's a lot quieter this morning. I can't get a good look at it cause it's put itself in the far corner of the incy. But I have another zipping right now, so will just have to leave it and see.

    It's movements are mostly 'controlled', walking on 2 feet a bit too! Fingers crossed

    HELP!! Pipping already at day 18?!

    It's been very active trying to walk, though only on it hocks still. I'm not home right now but will check on it when I'm back (later this afternoon) and pop it in a cup if it's still all uncoordinated with its movements. Thanks!!

    HELP!! Pipping already at day 18?!

    Thankyou! It doesn't look like it's absorbed all the yolk, there is a bit of a hole on its stomach, say a penny size. It's tummy still looks egg shaped. Is there anything I should do?
