OMG! So much excitement! Chicks, ducks, ostriches! Oh my! This is fantastic!
I'm weighing my eggs & tracking their weight loss & so far, so good.

Ok, So the chick I inadvertently got out has died.. Poor thing, I had hoped it would rally, but it was to no avail.. It was a lot larger that these other three...

But the other chick that started out weak is doing better, it can stand for short periods but having trouble holding his head up... I'm hoping it is better tomorrow.. I was hoping to give these chicks to Broody butt tonight but I think I'll wait one more day and see how the little guy does tomorrow... I could give the first two to her but don't want to separate them yet, will see how the little emergency care chick is doing tomorrow.

But here is the hatch...

.... I hope I NEVER do that again...

Wow well done, did you just use store bought eggs i thought they were never fertilised?

I have had internet issues for 2 days, still not working. I have 19 healthy happy chicks, 1 still in icu, 10 didn't make it, but of those 10 only 3 died after I assisted. One in breech position that I couldn't find the beak in time to save, one w/ a huge abd. hearnia that started to bleed, and the other was just to weak.

The one that is still in guarded condition is still alive, I really didn't think he would be alive on day 3, but I still don't expect him to make it. I didn't get pic until today. Here is the crew, the last one is the special one still in bad shape. His problems are not due to his genetics it was due to his early hatch from shrink wrapping and having to be assisted before he was ready to hatch.

I would LOVE to see some of your adult NN.

No it doesn't... It took me awhile to even want to post pictures, I threw the un natural incubator together on the fly and was amazed the next day when the eggs were still alive... It was so much fun these last four days that I really thought they would all make it...But there are three chicks in there and I am pretty pleased with the results none the less..at least now I know it can be done if needed.

Thank you
