    Well, I have 2 babies and 3 I am still hoping for. Out of 21 eggs I had 5 fully developed chicks in eggs, the rest were either duds or didn't fully develop. I have 3 in the incubator for 1 more day, if I don't see piping then it is over. I don't know what I did wrong? I kept the temp between...

    As for the one with the beak poked out...... I really don't know what happened? It was a BCM. It died before the temp spiked, so I know it wasn't that. I opened it up a little and the chick looked fine, so maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Sadly.

    Hey everyone, Any Updates? I candled the other day and saw movement, it was so neat. Anyone else have anything major happen? I have about 6 that I think are duds. They look clear with maybe a blood ring, but I am afraid to open them up. Don't want to chance it. How long do you think I can wait...
