Chick died in pip

[casportpony]

Do I keep just putting the polysporin on these butts? Should I let my hopes stay up that they will be ok or do these kinds of issues usually result in sadness?

They don't look too bad. Every now and then one will get an infection and die, but I really think they will be okay.

Ah! This may explain why I had areas that when I candled on day 17 there was a stretch of odd looking eggs with a airpocket at top and then a light looking area at the bottom.

Man. Do I try this again? I have Icelandic’s I’d like to try incubating but I don’t want to kill them all!

Would you suggest a dry hatch? I still need to read up on this
