I've got 7 so far and another dozen were pipped. One didn't absorb the yolk as much as he should have so he's wrapped in a wet paper towel and still in the incubator. I don't really have high hopes for him to make it. Teacher called me because she was concerned about the smell from the incubator and how the one doesn't looks so good. The smell, I was concerned that there might be a bad egg ready to explode. I didn't smell one like that - it's just the normal smell from hatching eggs. The one that's weak managed to spread goo over a lot of eggs so we washed them off. I never did that before to eggs ready to hatch but I knew if I left that gunk on, their chance of surviving was pretty low. I figured they were dead if I didn't get that stuff of them anyway so what did I have to lose? Then I coated each egg with a thin layer of coconut oil to help counteract the bacteria. One of the pipped eggs was on the wrong end. I took some shell off yet leaving the membrane, hopefully enough shell is off that he'll be able to make it out on his own, but not until tomorrow since not all his blood was absorbed and probably not the yolk either. Teacher is also concerned about the fluffy chicks - one of them is having a hard time getting to it's feet. I'm telling her not to worry, that it probably just hasn't gotten it's "sea legs" yet. I hope that's all that's wrong with it. And right now sleep is good for them and that's about all they are going to do for the next day or two anyway.
) these are cool colors!! Congrats everyone on the hatches!!!
