Ok here's the update. I have 3 currently. A black one popped out slick as a whistle and is doing great with the Marans. The others are blue I believe. One is doing great, but is just gooed up so bad I tried to clean her up but she still doesn't look good. Looks like she lost a lot of fluff it the unsticking process even though I was very careful. The other is still kind of a mess. I had to unstick one of her eyes this morning so she could see. Then I was trying to pick off some more of the goo today when I noticed that her bum was all pasted up. So I took her in and cleaned up her little bum and her navel started bleeding and then oozing green goo. I'm assuming from the yoke sack. It was a total mess. I put a bandaid on that and tried to get her insides back in but couldn't. I guess the poop was holding everything in place. I feel really bad, but the poop can't be good for her there either. So, She's doing fine, I just don't know for how long. Also one of her feet is turned in, but she's getting around ok. So I really had a pretty good hatch all things considered.
