Thanks ! I'll look those up. Any idea about the bubble? It's firm.

Looks like some posts on here say that the air under the skin is due to trauma of airsac during hatching. It says that they can often heal from it and be fine. I hope he's ok!

Keep us posted on how he does!

Definitely will! Thank you so much for your help and encouragement. It mean a lot to me.

He's bobbling around the incubator like a normal newly hatched chick. Fingers crossed.

Here they are! I had 12 hatch. Last one hatched early this morning. I'm planning on field trip outside for pictures but for now this is what I've got. Plus a couple of the chick I was worried about. Turns out he's a normal little chick. These hatched from a variety of egg colors and I'm excited to see how they mature.

The chicks are now a week and a half old. Growing like weeds. They've moved into the garage with a heat lamp. In another 3-4 weeks they'll move to the barn with the other chicks I'd already hatched. These are two from green eggs, one polish, and the little guy I was worried about. He's much cuter now.
