This is the only hatchling of our batch of 5 eggs- a beautiful little frizzle cochin named Oreo. Thank heavens she's a hen!

Well, the chick died. I decided to adopt. Sometimes all of my eggs turn out to be duds.

OK, so I think I didn't poke through the inner membrane because the blob is hard. But I'm a little scared to poke through it...

Yes, no movement. I did poke.

So my baby RIR's moved a bit on day 19, but now it is day 22 and no pipping. I listened to what people said and pipped (carefully) a small hole in the eggs. All I can see is what looks like a bit of the chicks, but it is not moving or making sounds. Dead or alive?

Okay, I did that. Seems like the chicks are not even moving the slightest. Unfortunately, all I'm seeing is a blob of skin and its not moving. I think the chicks are dead. How long should I wait?

How might I go about doing that?

So its been overnight and still nothing! I'm hoping everything is ok in there. Just candled and saw chicks inside several of the eggs, the air cells were broken too, so they were breathing from there... but no sounds, and no pipping! I'm starting to feel that this is a dud hatch.

Yeah, I read somewhere that that's a good sign. Still no pipping, and the eggs haven't wobbled in a bit. I'm hopeful that there will be a pipping soon...

No, I mean that is slightly elevating by itself.

It's been a couple hours and still no pipping. I did think that I heard a cheeping but it could have been from outside. The eggs that I thought would hatch have the large end elevated- is that good?

It's day 21 of my RIR hatching and I'm not seeing any pipping. These past couple days there have been some rocking, and I candled before and many of the eggs are fully developed. I know sometimes it takes longer, but is there anything I can do? I have 100 degree F temperature and high...

I agree, those chicks are absolutely adorable! Good luck with the rest of your hatching!

Wow, they definitely look like they are developing nicely! Congratulations! Hopefully you'll have little chicks soon! :thumbsup

Ha ha, yes! I'm constantly checking to make sure everything is well. Lockdown this Sunday for my RIR's!

Aww, how adorable! Can I join in? I'm going into lockdown in 3 days!

That's good. How are they looking now?

Thanks to everyone. Got out safely and the eggs are also doing ok. Geez, there are like 9 fires here in California! Thanks for the input!

Thanks to both of you. Frantic calls coming from everywhere. It's so crazy. Gonna take care of these eggs! I'll leave a message later if everything is ok... UPDATE: Ash is now coming down like crazy, so we're grabbing things and throwing it in the car. Using a blanket to keep eggs warm. It's...

Just got a call from fire service... prep and be ready for evacuation. Anyone out there?
