He is out. After 24 hours of him not zipping I asst a little and noticed he was in a awkward spot. He never broke through the air cell. He broke in the middle. But he is healthy and happy!
I will.
He hasn't made any progress. It's been over 14 hours.
He poked then stopped and havent seen him.
I hear him chirping though.
He also didn't crack in the air cell. He cracked right in the middle of the egg.. Is that normal?
Ok thank you!!
While talking about all this, my daughter rushed out and said she heard a crack!
It finally pipped!
It pipped towards the bottom. I'm excited to see if we have a baby in the morning
Hi! Newby here !
i have one egg in the incubator and is the end of day 20.
I candled it to see if it was still moving.
I saw movement but saw some movement along the edge of the air cell area .
Can they poke through the membrane then suffocate if they don't get through the shell?
I've heard...
i had a turkey pass from poking through the air cell but never pipping.
I have a baby chick right now on day 20. Still moving and I think it poked through the air cell.
How long can they breath in the air cell before suffocating to death?
Thanks!
My cream brabanter in lockdown.
Yes it's only 1.
My friend in NC where I use to live, has a few of these birds and I was out with my husband on his work trip and brought two of her eggs back on the plane with me to Utah.
1 was infertile but this guy is looking good and moving around!
Just put...
I see. The feed guys acted like it was ok but I knew I read somewhere they needed a higher feed.
You have been so kind to help me with all of this. Thank you tonz! I really appreciate it all!
