Nope, nope, nope on the food.....leave the chickie in there to dry a fluff up....they don't have to have food for a while. Go read up on that cause I can't tell you exactly.

they can go two or three days after hatching without food

Lockdown was Sat. the 2nd. I candled before lockdown and I know some of them where not good but I put them in anyway. I am still not 100% good at candleing and didnt want to toss a good egg that I thought was bad. Every thing has been reading good and everything is calibrated, but today the tep. and humidity are jumping up and then down then up again. IDK what to do now but just go buy some chicks.

It certainly wouldn't hurt to open a few of them up to try to figure out what is going on. You'll know quickly if they are alive or not. If they are alive you will be able to help them. For mine that don't hatch I candle them to find out where the air cell is and then pip the shell and zip off the top. I've learned a lot and it has helped me to have better hatches.

I hope you have sweet baby chicks soon.

what day do you do that suechick?

I remember reading somewhere that the temp goes up when they get close to hatching, but I cant remember if I'm supposed to let it or readjust.

So I've got two out so far amd one more has pipped. Theyr'e a day late but still here. The kids are really enjoying it. The best part is they look like they're going to be splash cochins!

Here is a pictuer of the first.

I have 8 BLRW eggs, 5 SLW eggs and 4 EE/Olive Egger's and 1 Welsummer egg that are due to hatch tomorrow. I was surprised to find a pip in two of the BLRW eggs a few hours ago. One of them pipped the wrong end and died in the shell

and the other one just hatched. Here is a picture of the little BLRW that is hatched. I just

baby chicks!! I sure hope the rest hatch out ok!!
