I have assisted some that have lived and some that have not 😢 it’s a crap shoot. Sometimes they are just malpositioned or shrink wrapped…other times there are internal issues 😢😢 I’m sorry your baby isn’t doing well.
Another baby hatched overnight and one is currently starting to zip!! Woohoo! All 4 that looked super strong appear to be hatching. The two that made it to lockdown and DIS were my "maybes" when I first candled. Very slow to develop, very weak veining...I'm surprised they made it to lockdown to...
I know! When I read your post I was thinking, "that's never happened to me, I wonder why after all the eggs I've hatched?" haha. Someone was listening to my thoughts! How long after it early pipped did it hatch? :D
Well my home-grown fertility check eggs are throwing me for a loop! I have hatched several sets of bantam eggs and they have always hatched on day 21. I know it's possible to hatch sooner, but it hasn't happened for me....until today. I went to check on the humidity and was thinking about...
It does look rather clear but that may just mean the membrane has pulled away from the shell when most don’t. I see veins and you said baby is moving. I’d keep an eye on it but it probably will be okay. Don’t give up on it! ❤️😁

I just candled my eggs and 6 are still going strong! I’m kind of curious to see what I get! I have 4 roosters and one laying hen in this pen haha. It’ll either be a purebred d’Anver or something bantam EE 😆 I feel like a kid on Christmas week impatiently waiting to see if Santa is getting me...
