OK, so I was a little panicked last night when I went to move them from the auto turner and I heard peeping and chirping already ....THEY ARE EARLY!! I was semi following the advice of the breeder I purchased my BCM eggs from(she lets them hatch in the turner. I decided I would wait til close to the day before to take them out). Day 21 for me is Fri 2-8-13 and they went in the incubator about 3pm.
WELL my 1st one hatched about 3am last night
so here are my questions for anyone who can help specifically with BCM's:
This lil one has been in there about 12 hrs now and I'm wondering should I go ahead and take he/she out because it's starting to get really hyper and I'm afraid it may actually disturb the other eggs. I have seen it peck at one or two. I was planning to leave he/she in there at least 24 hrs especially because I have been so busy and they are sooooo early I didn't have everything quite set for them. I think I got it finished this morning. I just don't have a typical brooder ....it's really a big pen where they will live the next 2 months so I was having a hard time getting the temp adjusted this morning.(thought I had 2 more days
). But I can always take it out and just have her in something small for now if thats what I should do?
I have 10 eggs in there. Obviously 1 has hatched.
The very 1st one that had chipped it's shell is making a WHOLE lotta noise, peeping very loudly but hasn't made even the tiniest crack since. This was at 11:45 last night. It's now almost 3pm. So the one that hatched was not the 1st to crack it's shell. When do you know if there is a problem? If the chick needs help? I've read all the issues BCM's have with their shells and the membranes etc.
I have one egg that was rocking itself a lot last night around midnight and now I've seen nothing since. Should I attempt to poke a tiny hole? Do you think it drowned?
I have 3 that have shown no movement at all but we are still 24 hours early I know. 2 of them when candled I could see a little something. I thought they looked promising. The 3rd I never could see through that super dark shell AT ALL ...so no clue what's going on in there.
Here's a pic of the #4 ....the one that hatched. I got better pics and videos not loaded yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I know BCM's are often the exception to the rule on a lot of this stuff and this is my 1st hatch! Thanks so much!!
