The first egg finally made a small hole through the membrane I can hear it grinding in there. the second has a nice big pip hole going. Its either a black or a blue.

Sad news the one chick that I managed to save decided to go jump in the water and drowned. It was my fault I should have taken the water out or not put so much in the container. And I should not have moved the eggs so the little chick who was having trouble walking could climb up the eggs and go diving in the water.

All the other eggs were shrink wrapped so bad that I could not save the 2 that were still alive. I am so glad that I got an incubator. Now I can save any eggs that a broody decides to quit on them.

I did have a chick pip really fast but then she was turning in the egg and not zipping and plugged up her air hole and died.
