Anyone HATCHING?!?!? Newbie's and addicts WELCOME!!!! Hatch Calendar page 1!!!!

I do have a question about the yolk sack. There was a slimy thing stuck to the thermometer that is now dried and yellow. Is this a yolk sack and can a chick survive it it looses it?

It's just a little birth goo from the membrane. If your chicklets tummies aren't open and bleeding anywhere they should be fine! Don't throw the eggs away without opening them first. I take a small pair of bathroom scissors and poke a small whole in the fat end of the egg and use a flashlight to look for movement. If there is movement just put them back into the incubator!
Yeahhhhhh for your little fuzzettes

for a better hatch!! My first attempt with shipped eggs I had none hatch either, it's just always a gamble when they are shipped. Hopefully having 2 batches from different places will make a difference too!

Thanks! There are 27 silkie eggs total. The color possibilities are BBS,white,buff,lavender,partridge,blue partridge,and cuckoo.
