Wow I don't know why I stopped getting notifications about this thread! Fingers crossed the babies make it. Especially poor little malpositioned JO! If there's a pip and she's putting her beak through it, that's a good sign. At least she can breathe. I had to do 3 assists this year, all were at the zipping stage (pipped but couldn't zip properly) and all made it out alive, but wouldn't have if I hadn't assisted. They'd spent too long trying, and started drying out in the meantime, and as they dried they got stuck in the dry membranes (even though my humidity was 80+ percent from all the other chicks hatching). So letting a lot of time pass with the shell open has its risks.
 
Updates......

So while I was gone today,

JO7 hatched, JO5 hatched and JO2 hatched.

JO5 (the malpositioned) pipped on the night of 6-15-21 hatched around 2:00 pm on 6-16-21

JO7 (Perfect pip) hatched around 3:30 pm on 6-16-21

JO2 (perfect pip) hatched 6:30 pm, on 6-16-21

Later (about 1 hr ago) I checked the incubator again, and to my surprise, there were two more JO zipping! The race was on! One looked malpositioned (something MUST be wrong with my turner in the incubator) but hatched first! Cant remember the number.

So… JOMalpos (malpositioned) hatched around 9:30 pm on 6-16-21

JOyay (perfect pip) hatched around 10:00 pm on 6-16-21]


Problem. They all look like BLUE LACED RED WYANDOTTES. I think the breeder guy gave me the wrong eggs. @K0k0shka, I think Im destined to not have jubilee. I WILL NOT GIVE UP!

We have 3 more that I can see that are definitely pipped.
1 JO
1 CM
1 DB

I put 3 more on lockdown tonight.
1 LO ( was wiggling in my hand)
1 RB (questionable)
1 DB (questioning if its questionable.)


2 more AK’s died. Down to one. Doesn’t look promising. I think it was because of how hard they were handled on the way to my house (story for another time, who wants to hear it?) Because it’s JUST the AK that all of them are dying.

Ok. More updates tomorrow.
 
Updates!!!!!!
