August Hatch-A-Long!

[LisaLouHoo]

Question. I have 6 eggs under my broody on day 12. Three of the eggs are pullet EE eggs. They were fairly good-sized so I used them. Well, they are sooo dark to candle right now and now I'm wondering if it could be that they were double yolkers and it is already so crowded in there. I can see the air sac and that's it. I saw veins in all three early on and now I only see dark. Do you think I have a chance at hatching them?

First one was out at 8am. Little black sex link/ee mix. Had a problem with the legs I think. Not splay leg, had that before. This kids legs are almost like curled up and toes curled. Not sure what I should do. Sling or boot? Would appreciate any help!

Well, I don't know. If you don't see veins...I don't think so...but be prepared just in case they do

The runt of my batch I feel is waning. I see her struggling to stand up and she's not as active as the others that are almost double her small size. I took a look at her feet and one seems off. Not a spraddle like my poor little Forest Gump but with the toes. I hope she's just tired and not fading on me.

Not likely.

My little blind one is heading down this road I fear. She runs, chirps, grooms herself, but won't peck. She won't even attempt food or water on her own

Makes me sad. I hope they make it through.
