16 eggs, 3 species, 1 homemade incubator: Will it be done?

The seriously malpositioned keet was assist hatched after it became very obvious that the keet couldn't hatch on it's own.

The keet has some neck issues.
:( hopefully now that it's not squished into such a confined space and it can stretch the neck will strengthen and be ok.

Glad your assisted hatch went ok. Must have been nerve wracking. It's lucky to have you taking care of it.
 
I sincerely apologize to everyone for the lack of a full hatch livestream.
Due to a full schedule and the babies hatching early, I have not had the opportunity to livestream more than one hatch.
In the cases of the assisted hatches (1 duckling and 1 keet) I felt it was more important to focus on assisting the embryo rather than trying to film it at the same time.
I apologize again,
Cyprus

There is still one G egg left to hatch. I fully intend to stream it's hatch if all is well.
No need to apologize .
You were definitely right to focus on the task at hand and help those little ones.

I'm glad the assisted hatch went well, too. I was surely nervous; scared I'd nick a vein.

Almost all the malpo chicks I’ve helped have had necks they couldn’t straighten out right away. They all straightened out in a few hours.
