    Shrunk wrapped

    Neck is behaving normally now, stronger and stronger. Looks like any other chick that just hatched itself now. Wondering if it's okay to leave him in the incubator overnight? Still damp...

    Shrunk wrapped

    Oh my goodness!! Now I wish I had taken photos; I was so sure he was going to die! But now he is dragging himself all around the incubator. Not quite as vigorous as the others, but movement! Kind of following a healthier/faster chick in there. The poop is detached so I'm really happy it was...

    Shrunk wrapped

    During our incubator hatch, one egg had pipped but one of the other chicks turned his egg upside down. There was fluid draining out of the egg before I got to it - maybe a nickel sized amount of yellowish fluid on the floor of the incubator. I thought for sure he was a goner but he was still...
