    Power outage, what to expect? Help please.

    At first, it was just lying down there, or rolling desperately trying to get the braces out, I thought the chick would never be able to stand up… after 1 day it was standing and hopping around. Very impressive.

    These would actually be very good names, but my daughter will choose :) Probably will be something like hearts, love, or rainbow.

    Thanks everybody, After 7 Power outages 9 of 10 to 15 hours including 1 during lockdown it is a miracle these guys made it, both new Ameraucana chicks will be my daughter's present, so in the end, we are very happy with 2 new chicks. Thank you guys for all the help.

    2 chicks ;) I did need to do assisted hatch for both, but they are both fine now. Thanks for asking. I am still monitoring the other eggs, but didn’t see any activity (wiggling/pipping) on them.

    Power outage, what to expect? Help please.

    Thanks a lot, that actually sounds great… unfortunately, I live in an isolated mountain area in Brazil, not even normal mail deliveries here so I will need to pass, but thank you. Anyway, the idea is great, I have been researching to install some batteries around here just need some extra time...

    Power outage, what to expect? Help please.

    Alright everyone, Power outage is annoying, in my experience, the decrease in temperature up to 12 hours can kill embryos before lockdown but it does not affect the survivors as much as the fluctuation in humidity. Which can cause a mess. Including if it happens during lockdown as it was with...

    Power outage, what to expect? Help please.

    Thanks, I've read it a few times I only don't understand this part-> “A safety hole should be made if the chick has been internally pipped for 18 to 24 hours with no progress”, what if it was not internally pipped but it has passes 24h and is still moving? And also this part-> “Widening it may...

    Power outage, what to expect? Help please.

    Oh, yep, a little creepy scary, but usually, it's better than letting them die, I just panic already to have this egg moving for so long, and fear the chick would end up suffocating. I've read all the articles here but this part is still not clear to me, whether I should close the safety hole or...

    Power outage, what to expect? Help please.

    Hey everybody, I used a rubber shelf liner at the start of lockdown, now it has been 24h and still no pipped egg but some rolling and shaking eggs. The liner completely messed up my parameters couldn't control nothing either temperature or humidity. So I prepared a big sleeping bag on top of...

    Would anyone explain to me what a safety hole is? When to do/or not do it?

    I mean what do I do if I do a safety hole and then, realize the chick didn't have Pip the outer membrane? Do I close the hole back with wet paper to avoid the Viteline membrane from drying out and wrap the chick or do I keep it open? Humidity is at 60/65% now.

    Would anyone explain to me what a safety hole is? When to do/or not do it?

    Thank you so much, I mostly get it, you are just increasing the size of the air cell by opening it to the external air, right? But should I cover the hole with a tiny piece of a wet paper towel? To try to avoid it from drying out? And how much humidity should it be? 60/70/80? Eggs are...

    Would anyone explain to me what a safety hole is? When to do/or not do it?

    Hey guys, I am in the middle of a complicated hatch… Trying everything and checking everything… Chicks were supposed to be my daughter's Christmas present :( So I came across some posts talking about a safety hole, something to avoid the chicks to suffocate to n the egg? I would really...
