Yes.

Talked to her today. She said she did an egg-topsy, and when she cracked it there was a bunch of yellowy fluid that came out of two of the eggs. I'm not sure how many went into lockdown, or if these eggs were the same ones that died after pip, but does that signify anything? I'm thinking they...

Good to know. Seems humidity is pretty controversial, though we've always done it the same way, same humidity for many many hatches. She's starting a breeding business this year, so just this year she's hatched a lot of chicks with the same method. Never had a chick drown. I'm either thinking...

I'm not entirely sure, I can ask tomorrow. I'm thinking suffocation too. :(

Thank you, its definitely sad. I feel awful for her. :( I was wondering that as well, the fluid makes me think they drown. She did have a calibrated thermometer, but I would be interested to calibrate it again. Since she's had great hatch rates in the past with her eggs, but these were the first...
