Last night my only good Rosecomb egg started to zip. And I am not ashamed to say I stayed up to watch. Glad I did too, because toward the end I noticed the humidity had dropped and membrane was drying and had glued the chick to the egg. So I had assist. My old styro bator has been good to me...
I think I'll only be getting 1 chick out of my 4 eggs. 2 made it to lockdown, but I believe one of them died last night. I did a quick candle yesterday to check on internal pipping, and both chicks were moving, but only one was chirping. This morning the other one wasn't moving.
Trying not to...
Yesterday was day 7 for my eggs, I pulled one clear, and one with a blood ring. The last two are developing nicely. I also set 2 BBred Rosecomb eggs on the 10th, but those don't make the deadline.
Thanks to everyone who recommended candlers. Just one last question before I purchase. What kind of batteries does this use? I searched the descriptions but I couldn't find it...
