Challenge: Hatching The Impossible!!!!!

[DogAndCat36]

My double yoker was fertile but only one of the yolks so the chick absorbed the other yolk and did hatch but ended up being huge and its legs couldn't hold it wait do it died

Oh... I'm so so sorry for your loss.

I am fascinated and learning so much with this post!. I've never hatched any eggs so I didn't know about the pip hole and membranes and all that. I thought there was the egg and then suddenly it starts breaking and boom, out comes the chick. Didn't even realize that a chick could die trying to hatch, but then again I'm really new at having chicken so many things are still new to me.
I'm looking forward to jelly beans hatching video

It'll be funny if hatching chicks hatched like that.

Agreed. It is so much more than what meets the eye. For example, I have hatched two groups of chicks and learned about how long it takes and oh so many bad things that can happen in between.

Yep.

Lost 2 more chicks. One was shrink wrapped, & suffocated. The other had Mushy Chick Disease, & died shortly after entering the aircell.

The one with the yolk sack infection was a pretty lavender. Every time I get a lavender it dies.

Don't lavenders have a highter mortality rate?

No. It's just a coloration.

It had the Mushy Chick Disease/Yolk Sack Infection. Not sure how, I cleaned that incubator really good this time.

Doesn't mushy chick dieses also come from high humidity that then drowns the chick? (I'm still learning)

No, it's when bacteria enters the yolk sack through the shell.

High humidity drowning chicks is different. That usually happens with the humidity being around 75% - 90% humidity.

I keep my humidity at about 55% - 65%.
