Boody Hen calls it quits after 3 weeks!

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

When this lil' chickie hatches, you should name it Lucky!

The unborn chick will take long breaks between chipping and zipping. Just because you don't hear anything doesn't mean it's dead.

Hang in there! I've got babies pipping today too. So exciting/frustrating!

 

[Tara Rose]

I am so excited for you, I feel we are in this together keep us posted. Patience is something that is very difficult now I am sure. I had two peeps take almost 2 days to get out of the shell

 

[Tara Rose]

Oh and when she hatches don't take her out of the incubator. You need to leave her in there a while. The two that took so long to get out of their shells took a long time to dry, they were so exhausted from all the work.

 

[Big Mama K]

Aww, thanks guys for everything! I just had no idea that it could take so long!! I still haven't heard it or seen it move in hours! But I am going to try to stay positive! I have the little one's box ready for her just in case she hatches! We just were so excited! Hannah set on it for almost three weeks, I was forsure it was going to die after she decided not to sit on it but this morning when I picke up the egg and felt it moving...then, I put it up to my ear and could hear the little booger!! My girls and I were so happy that it had made it through the night! I am just gonna keep my fingers crossed and stop looking in that darn incubator!! I know the temp is right I just wish I knew about the humidity!! I am glad there are other chicken lovers out there to help me through this!!

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

I know how you feel!

I have some button eggs due to hatch today, and I haven't had a pip yet or nothin'!

 

[Big Mama K]

Well, something apparently went wrong! After breaking through the egg the little thing died! I have no idea what happened! I I kept watching it and listen and nothing after 11 hours so I decided to take a peek! Poor little thing! I put it back in the incubator so it can dry and so that we can bury it tomorrow! I was hoping that this wold have worked! At least we tried and so did she!! I have to figure out if it was my incubator so next time things so better!

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

Oh, my! That's HORRIBLE! SO SORRY!

Don't blame yourself k? Some chicks just aren't ment to live. Think of it this way, he has a much better life where he is now!

He isn't in pain anymore! He is probably running around up there right now chasing bugs and having an awesome time.

Again, I'm real sorry for your loss!

ETA: For My SP!

oh too sad. I am sure it is not anything you did. The hen left the egg and you tried your very best
