Thanks. I hatched four chicks (:jumpy:jumpy:jumpy:jumpy). I had a metal tub in a bathroom, wet face towels around the eggs, a humidifier in the room, and a heat lamp clamped to a 5 ft step ladder. We moved the ladder to adjust the temperature. Somehow that (and lots of prayers) worked. They...

I am so sorry. It is so sad and disappointing when the eggs don’t develop.

How did your hatching turn out?

Thank you! I hope your group hatches well also.

Congratulations!!! We cull ours out as needed; but I love on them anyway. “It is better have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.” Lord Alfred Tennyson;)
