I was going to let the kids dissect the eggs today and we arrived to school to find them hatching! I had heard to toss eggs after day 25 but we'll wait it out from now on!
I wouldn't do it. I had a couple two week old's in with some new babies and one got squished. I found him flat as a pancake in the morning. I think they were laying on top of him and didn't know it.
So is this spraddle leg then? He came out of the incubator unable to stand. I found this yesterday:
Would this be helpful or will it hinder his leg strength? Thanks!!
This chick can't seem to stand up. I've had it in the band aid thing for spraddle leg but it doesn't seem to help. Suggestions?
he just lays flat on his belly all day long
Well this was a lousy hatch. Only 3 chicks hatched (out of the original 36). I just opened the unhatched eggs at the air hole (today is day 27) and all seem developed but dead. What happened?! It's so sad to see all thses tiny would-have-been chicks. I am about to buy a Brinsea Octagon 20 for...
Well our after school hatching project was a flop. Only 3 eggs hatched out of the original 36. I have 19 eggs sitting next to me, all with developed, dead chicks inside of them. I don't know what happened but the 10 year old foam incubator that we used wasn't the best option in my opinion. I'm...
I tried candeling today but only 4 of the eggs are light enough to see through. All 25 looked like chicks were developing/ had developed. The humidity's at 70%.
Well today is day 25 and only 3 of the 25 remaining eggs have hatched. I left the eggs in the bator in hopes that we're still just running behind but I'm doubtful at this point that we'll have any more chicks
I've had the same situation. Chicks were due the 23rd. 1 chick hatched on the 24th and yesterday (day 24) I had 2 new pips. Hopefully I'll have lots of new babies when I check today.

Good luck ilovebuffs. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Thank you easttxchick! I'll let you all know when something happens
I'm using an LG still air. It's been pretty consistent but it's at school so I wasn't seeing if it was dropping at night. Still no other pips.
Does it take a while for them to get up onto their feet? My chick that hatched at 6pm last night is in the brooder this morning and is dragging itself around with it's wings....
Hello fellow March hatchets, I need some advice. Today is day 23 for my hatch. Yesterday, one chick hatched but there has been no pips at all besides the 1. What should I do? Should I candle the eggs? The science teacher I'm working with wants to open them up herself but that doesn't sound like...
