My trembling egg finally pipped! What perseverance! Glad it is doing it on its own... hope it hatches tomorrow : )

I hope he's okay!!!

I hope so too, about to go to bed now but have an alarm set for four hours, so I can check on him and give him some fluids.

Thank You! He is a little fighter, if he makes it through the night, he might have a chance. The one that hatched yesterday was a little shaky, but today he is doing good.

Oh no poor little thing. I pray it makes a good recovery and that everything works out in the end. Such a tiny little chick! Good for you for helping it I'm sure your doing as much as you can. I would be a nervous wreck!

I'm on day 13. Hatch day is the 30th and I'm so excited I can't wait! I am going to candle tomorrow. I had done it early and was going to wait until tomorrow to candle but I had a rotten egg in the midst so I had to candle to find the stinky bugger. My barnevelders are developing nicely! I have one that has a wonky air cell so I'm not sure about that one but I can't wait to see who hatches! I have some other eggs in there with them from my mom and dad. They have RIR and Buff Orphington and a few Welsummers.... May have some full bloods and may have a mixture of any of those lol. I love seeing everyone's fuzzy butts hatching. I can't wait for my turn!

I am sad to report that my little chick lost his struggle for life around noon today. He was very alert and active at the 4:30 AM check, which gave me some hope. But when I looked in on him later he was lethargic and just went down from there.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sometimes we do everything we can and its just not in the cards. At least he was well taken care of while he was alive.

Hoping your other babies will bring you some joy

Hoping your pipped baby is still doing good and maybe decides to come out and play today!!
