Oh and today is day 26, and there are still chicks hatching. And some moving but haven't pipped. But I have two that are pipping .

So I figured out what is wrong. One just has the clenched fist. But the other ones have the achilles hock joint thing out of place. I have tried to pop it back into place, and I can move it to where it's supposed to be but once I let the leg go, it goes back. This is very sad and frustrating. I...

I don't know how to post a video, or even a picture.

And it looks like the newborn chicks hips are not in the joint. Not sure if this is normal.

Yes like that. They all have it! And the one gets it stuck on her/his wing. I know they aren't even a day old, but it seems weird.

3 chicks. One yesterday morning, one last night at like 12am, and one just hatched at 9am. Their feet look kinda clinched. And the one that kept me up last night gets its foot stuck on its wing. Has anyone else ever had that?

Another question. Do new born chicks legs and feet look weird? And when do they stop being wobbly? Ok so 2 questions.

Yeah I am not going to help the pipped ones because I saw the pictures of the poor chicks who were helped and hadn't absorbed all their stuff. I will wait. Just want them to hurry. My one is lonely.

So 2 piped last night at 1030. This morning around 9, the one that had the bigger pip started sipping then within the hr I would say, she was out wobbling around knocking the other eggs around. I just took her out, very quickly since she is not all dry and its been 5 hrs and she was knocking...

It was between 99.5-100 but still air. Most looked like they were growing fine and filled up most of the egg when they went into lockdown.

Ok so I was a day off Sunday was not day 21, yesterday was. But now I am on day 22 and absolutely nothing is happening! I was keeping it the lower end for the temp because as you might have read, I am trying the temp experiment with lower temps favoring hens hatching. So lower temps can make...

Omg today is the beginning of day 21. I have been checking every night when I get up for signs but nothing yet. The wait is sooooooooooo getting to me. The humidity is only at 59% but there is condensation inside the window, so I would think it's actually a little higher then that right? Man oh...

Yes he is very pretty. But with only 4 hens and him not quick enough, he is kinda mean sometimes to me. I think it's because he never gets any.

LoL that is sooooo funny.

If you lived in Washington you could have my blue Andalusian roo. He isn't very skilled at getting the ladies but I'm sure he could make something happen. Lol

I have 2 roosters, a easter egger (ameraucana/araucana mix) he is main one who gets the girls. Then there is a blue andalusian rooster who sometimes might possibly get a girl. So mainly Hawkeye my ee is the dad, then the moms are 3 rhode island reds and one splash blue andalusian hen. The Blue...

lol Probably thinks he is the rooster to end all roosters.

Eggs are in lockdown. I hope out of the 25 I have in there at least a few will hatch. I left them all in because this is my first time and I don't really know what I am doing so I didn't want to throw away eggs that might have a chick. So I hope none explode grossness all over. But none smell so...

A hawk, a tiny hack, killed one of my reds last summer. I went and bought that shinny reflective garden ribbon tied it up over their area. Looks like a big spider web kinda, and have not had a problem since. I hear them, and I see Eagles. I don't see the Hawks but I can hear them. Where I live I...

Yes I am also running it at a slightly lower temp. Nothing drastic, just a half degree or one lower. It's been running at 99-100, when I should be running it at 100-101, since it's still air. I have a few quitters so far, and one that didn't develop at all. I can't tell with my brown eggs...
