Well, emptied the turner, only 4 Australorpes left (out of start of 9) 2 yard eggs iffy, one started about 10 days after the rest were set. Put it on a scarf n threaded an end under the lid of 'bator so i can roll without disturbing those in 'lockdown'. Had the rabbit in the house n difficult to get back to check on the eggs, so No idea if internal pips are still alive or not. Thursday is marked as 'hatch day' so looking forward to new lives. So worried I've killee them all with attention to wrong details. Time
all my concern was for naught, 4 out of eggs, left for an hour then 5
forgot to put paper towel or softer material than the wire. I still consider them on 'lockdown'. Yolk sack will fortify for awhile yet, other eggs yet to hatch, they need time now,
Hatch date eve All quiet, early morning, fear for weak chicks, No rocking, do hear one cheeping n knocking (still) hours to go till actual expected pipping n zipping. Almost more afraid to 'help' is a catch 22 help wrong or too quickly or leave alone n trust/faith they are strong enough to get themselves broken out of spherical prison.
I want to Thank All of you that posted words or emogies of encouragement. Frankie Ruiz, you planned yourself a Wonderful birthday present. With all my being, I hope is a joyous day for you.
3:20 a.m. went to check on the incubator n its precious contents. To find a little one deaped over eggs, standing with eyes open. Went back with Tablet for pictures n is in a heap steps away from were I last saw it, pipped egg it had previously draped itself over, both are yard eggs, still waiting on shipped eggs to show some sign.
have to try to sleep again. More news perhaps pictures soon.
Silky x almost dry, 3 more beaks thru, Australorpe is Rocking!
you'd be surprise how fast roosters get fertile. I've had some fertile at 12 weeks maybe even a little younger. I hope you have a great hatch and am looking forward to hearing the progress
