I have three little ones in the brooder. I have two more cracked eggs but I am afraid one may be gone. It hasn't moved. I don't know what to do. I see feathers out of the side of the egg but no beak. All the babies that have hatched have been blueish black. Not a splash in the bunch. They are cuties though.

Hi there everyone! Here's the link to the 'SEPTEMBER HATCH-A-LONG come join in' https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=4740584#p4740584

Hope to see you there. I've been away from the computer for a while, over busy with work; but hope to have more time again soon.

Happy hatching everyone!

Hey do not forget there are a few days left in Aug. I have a clutch that are due to hatch on the 31st under a hen. They are cukoo marans
under my hen. By the way what are they suppose to look like in shape etc. Are they like barred rocks in the fact about the white spots on their heads? These were given to me. I have never seen the flock. Gloria Jean

Here are some pics of the four babies. I have a few more eggs with cracks but we lost one last night. It pipped and zipped and died

Raising chickens is not for the faint of heart. I am learning that sooner than I had hoped! I am having trouble keeping the humidity up. I just put some more wet paper towels in. I am wondering if I should intervene with another little one. I see a beak, it has been that way since last night and nothing is happening. I am afraid that one might be gone also. Thankfully I have these little ones to keep me occupied.

Edisto
Helping is up to you BUT I would think if it has been that long with just a lil hole ! I would not be able to just watch it die you can help it but be sure to pay attention to the veins in the membrane try your best not to tear thru one if you do it will bleed a lil bit but should eventually clot off

Good luck
I helped the BR lil boy that hatched and he is fine! It is completely your decision. I wouldn't be able to stand back LOL I have a harc enough time waiting on the ones that are doin fine LOL

The one I tried to help was gone before I could do anything. This has been a really bad hatch. Better luck next time!

Everybody needs to go to the SETEMBER-HATCH-ALONG!

Afishal: I started with 16 eggs. Two were tossed out in the beginning due to oozing. Two have pipped, zipped and died, 1 had the 'accident', 4 hatched out well. I have 6 eggs still in there but there is no pipping or anything. They may be infertile, late bloomers, or quitters. I am going to give them until tomorrow to candle. I have a man wanting me to hatch 30 guineas for him so I guess I will be on the sept group too. Thankfully my new bator is in the mail
