No. The baby died shortly thereafter. I believe that with the crack being on the bottom it may have been struggling for oxygen for a while. There was nothing I could do,..there was tons of blood so I couldn't go in yet...after it died I opened and saw that the yolk was nowhere near absorbing yet...
Well here's some fun news. I went in there to check on the egg again and lo and behold the baby was hatched out and flopping around. That quick. But,...here's the kicker....I have two of the DIS eggs still in the incubator,..just in case ones....since one was darker and I couldn't see in it...
Temp is at 101. Chick has been pipped since roughly 5 pm yesterday. Roughly 19 hours or so. I know to wait it out at least 24 hours if the baby seems okay,..but my problem is that my gut it telling me the chick is declining. I had one of its brothers/sisters pip upside down on the wrong end on...
Still air. All the other ones chirped at least here and there,...the very laborious and heavy panting mixed with no chirps had me a little concerned,..and seeing as this is the last to hatch I didn't know if something was going on with it.
Advice needed please. I have some BR's, some RIR's, and some RIW's that are on day 22 of hatch. I went into lockdown with 10 eggs and 5 have hatched (2 BR'S on day 20, 1 BR, 1 RIW, and 1 RIR on day 21, and now on day 22 I have one little egg that is left that is externally pipped,..the rest are...
Personally, I know much of nothing, but I really feel like me giving my Serama baby that little safety hole in the top of its air cell, after it had been 22 hours since internal pip, more time to figure things out and the oxygen and strength to make it out.
Here is our stubborn little Serama "Coco". As she dries her coloring is turning out to be quite pretty. She is a feisty little one. :) Thanks for helping me get her here guys! :)
Hahaha I don't doubt it. So far it seems to be drying into a chocolate color. I love how Seramas can be so many colors. 5 more Serama eggs just went into the other incubator. Here we go again. ........
Welcome to the world little Serama baby! @6:55pm (I can't figure out how to upload pictures. ...I have a phone and a computer but it won't upload for some reason)
And. ..the lady I bought the eggs locally from just messaged to checkhire the hatch was coming and offered to drive over 5 Serama eggs so we can try to hatch it some buddies..she's on her way and told me these are on the house! Yay.
The baby Serama egg is still just externally pipped now. I've been checking on her and she is active and cheeping. This waiting game is for the birds, lol.
Hey guys and gals. After I went back to sleep this morning to try to get a few more hours until my kids woke up,....I woke up to the Serama chickie having externally pipped and it looks like she is already trying to zip a little. I'm monitoring closely. The baby has its beak through and you can...
No. :( Baby is still chirping if I tap on the shell and thrashes itself around, but still no sign of an external pip. Going on 29 hours since I found it internally pipped, but I gave it a tiny safety hole about 7 hours ago. I have no clue the timeframe as to when I need to actually help it...
Egg is turned. The chick seems VERY very far into the air cell now. Cheeping up a storm when I tapped on the egg and moving around a great deal. I guess that is all I can do for her tonight. Should I continue to monitor every "x" amount of hours/minutes through the night? Let her be? Ughhhh! If...
LOL, true. I've been contemplating turning her, but from everything I've read people keep saying not to change their position after lockdown or that they might not be able to get in the right position to hatch. My gut told me to turn her, but I'm nervous to do something that will hinder her...
