Quote: the ones that are dark except the air are you best bet...if your seeing veins then they are probably not quite ready....brown eggs are super hard to get a good look at....since you had temp issues the are running late!

More bad news to add to my stressful day. Went out to check on hens and their eggs... Still only one hatch and upon inspection of the little guy it appears to also be a spraddle. Poor thing.

that can fixed

Since this is my first hatch, I really am not sure what to look for. I defiantly saw air pockets and what looked like veins to me but the rest of the egg is about half full of dark. I'm having a hard time getting the bator over 64% humidity. I really don't want to keep opening it. So I guess I should just wait? It's day 22 and 4 hours.

Hiyeee!!

Our New baby Cream Legbar fully born last night ON TIME I think its a girl by the darkness of chipmunk coloring. So happy!

AND one more baby Cream Legbar was cheeping inside an egg today. I also have a late Serama cheeping in her egg JUST pipped!!

I am worried about the Serama chick, just because its a couple days late, and ALSO she is the only chick under this hen. There are 2 Cream Legbars under my other Silkie. Should I unite the chicks at some point? Under 1 mother, so the chicks can all be together? Or let 1 Serama chick alone under the adoptive mama that has hatched her?

Any suggestions?

HI,
I would leave the Serama with the hen that hatched it.............She worked a long time to have her baby taken away..........The chick will develop just fine and get lots of attention.......
JMHO.............
