thanks for the great info! It is now day 22, i had 8 eggs that was due to hatch yesterday on day 21. 3 hatched, with my help, they pipped. Problem is the others are still alive but no pip yet. I took one out and candled it and the chick is moving its feet or something, but its not really...
Yeah my mistake! I had to help them both out. They started pipping real well but they made no progress what so ever. I prolly shouldnt have done anything but they are ok, so far. I have some expensive cuckoo marans that are due to hatch tommorrow. I am nervous about that. I hope I didnt ruin...
These are the eggs I purchased. They are supposed to be, cuckoo maran, welsummer, and Barnevelders. I am not sure but the 2 chicks I hatched so far came out of the same color egg but are way different looking??? Not sure. I will try to get pics.
it is doing very good, I snuck a wash rag in, on the corner ontop of the turner so he could have some more stable footing. Staggered hatched with only 1 incubator is not goor
well its not on, I have staggered ages of eggs in there. I know thats not the smartest thing to do, because the older eggs arent getting turned. Until the hatched chicks are out. Im watching very closely to make sure they dont get stuck. Live and learn!
well the tissue from that is attached to its stomache come undown or this is abnormal? I am assuming it is where the embilical cord is, how ever you spell that.
Well one has hatched! Now another is pipping. I believe these are 2 of my Barnevelders, or welsummers I am not sure. They are from some eggs I got off ebay. The chicks stomache is still attached to some tissue in the egg, is this normal?
Im on day 20 and day 18 with some cuckoo maran eggs in the incubator. I am hoping they hatch. I started out with about 25 eggs, now I only have about 8 that actually was developing. Not starting out to a good hatch. But if only a few hatch I will still be happy. When I candle I see some feet...
