Ok, Here are the last two of my hatch. I also have pics of the three polish chicks that I got today who have made friends with my new turkey babies. My turkeys hatched out Monday. Does anyone know what they are going to be? I do know that they are a heritage breed. They are goofy little...
Mine had some goo stuck to their umbilical cord. In fact I even had to tie a tiny piece of thread to one's cord and cut to keep it from bleeding. I know sounds crazy but it dried up and they are doing great now. Here are some updated pics of the ones that hatched out on Sunday and Monday...
I agree, I think if they are chirping and pipping and trying to get out and no progress is made then you should help them. If I would have helped one of mine, then it would have made it but it was too late. Good job!!! Can't wait for pics!!
I just checked on my other 4 eggs one of which had been chirping away and then silence. I candled him and nothing so I broke open the egg and he had died. Fully developed. I should have helped him out. He was stuck. The others, one I put back in the bator, another had stopped developing...
Here are pics of my babies that have came out so far. These hatched last night. I have no idea as to what any of them are. I know one is some kind of naked neck. LOL!

I don't think that you opening the incubator killed them. The first hatch that I did none of them hatched. I opened up one of the eggs and also fully developed. This was only my second hatch and I too have an LG bator. I am very far from an expert but from what I learned during...

I was wondering, did any of your other babies hatch? I am soo sorry to hear about your little one. That is hard to watch them go thru all that and then you think they are fine and then that happens. I hope you have good news on your others. Nik
Ok guys, I have 5 new babies hatched out and 4 more pips. I had 1 more that hatched a little yellow baby but did not make it. All others are doing great. I will keep you posted. Keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer!
Helppppp!! Can't remember if I am supposed to take the red plugs out of the bator. I have an LG. It is day 20 and I have one that is pipping towards the middle and I can here it chirping. I don't know what to do.
I am a newbie at this also. I have a LG and I am the turner. I have 16 chicken eggs and 2 turkey eggs in my bator that went in on 3/31/09. So far all of them are developing into nice little babies. I have tried one hatch besides this one and failed misrabley (can't spell) at it. 12 Frizzle...
