Blood in incubator

[kirkyanne]

We all go through this learning when using an incubator, some of those lessons are a bitter pill to take but are well remembered. They do monthly hatch alongs you'd be more than welcome to join and have people with a lot of experience to help and guide if something comes up too. if you would like to join in them when your going to hatch. I think my issues about drove everyone Bonkers when I started, not to many that hatch at high elevations, but we eventually got it figured out

Thankyou. I read so much but wasn't really prepared for that. But since the Easter eggers have hatched perfectly healthy with flat claws, no blood. I can see the differences now between the hatches. The other silkie eggs should of pipped but I think the saddle aircells might of had something to do with the early hatch / no hatch. Even though the aircells seem to have corrected themselves over last days of incubation.

day 21&22 there was a day difference only because eggs Mumma hen sitting on had saddled aircells so thought they might do better upright hatching in egg cartons. I haven't seen rocking. I checked mumma, hen she still only has one chick and sitting on another egg also. So will wait and see. The first silkie egg that passed away pipped day 19.

Even the silkie egg under mum had died after pipping. So something going on there regardless of whether was incubator problem I suppose.
