Assisting chick to hatch

I trade sitting hens eggs all the time. They never know the difference. I even will in pinch steal all their eggs and give them new ones. If you set her too long is hard on her though
 
Kimberly, did all the chicks hatch yet?

Sorry to keep asking but..
 
I am getting a few bantys 2 this morning left. The others didn't hatch for some reason. I set the ones you sent me last night in my hovabator. I just ended up with a bunch of explosive eggs under the 3 setting hens with 1 baby. I will take pic of them but I was disappointed. Happens sometimes. All yours started to make then some started to fizzle. I am certain your eggs are good just post office shook them too much. One little banty got a swollen eye I hatched and I have been doctoring her. She is little hen. I have her in box and she cries for me all time to hold her. Her mother must be real pet. It is little black banty. I am going to have to think of name for her. I will take some pics of what I got to hatch and send you but this was not best hatch. In my big house i have over 70 chicks and Some of those eggs I think were yours too. I had set eggs under setting hens, and incubators cause I had ordered several. But I will take chick pics probably tomorrow and post them

In one of the pictures you posted it seemed like a I saw a little black bantam chick. Her mother might be Raven. Raven is a Black cochin mix hen, she is a real sweety pie.

I order 2 groups of cornish eggs 1 set I got from backyard chicken and not one hatched all were explosive after 1 week of setting. The second group I got off ebay and they hatched pretty good. I got several hatched from your eggs and I tried to get pics. Some of yours is in other building too I will take pics my next days off so you can see them. I built a cool building and pen for babies

My broody hen just hatched I had to help 2 out but I took all the bantams and regular chicks and she took them. I will take pictue tomorrow and show you. The Cornish had pneumonia when they were hatched and i got only 1 brahma out of 24 eggs and it had pneumonia when hatched but is doing better. It can drink water now without choking. It still cannot walk well but I have it in walker I made and it is doing good.
