Was out of town for a bit, but they seem to be fine.

The two are still alive. One had pasty butt, but coconut oil worked wonders on it.

I opened the last egg to find a dead chick. I took pictures of the eggs with some development. Will try to post later. One of the hatched chicks has a little pasty butt. I tried to get most of it off, but there is still some poop on it. I didn’t have Vaseline or olive oil or a cotton swab...

Went to work this morning and had one of the most wonderful experiences ever. Four of the eggs MOVED!!!

Hello, am new to backyard chickens. Am trying to hatch 7 eggs as an educational project. If any of them hatch, I want to have good homes lined up for them. My preference would be that they be kept as pets. The person who expressed interest in taking them has been incommunicado. If anyone is...
