Cochin hen and Peacock

[critters]

They are Cochin and most their eggs are big but unsure that I would say extra large as I do get some bigger... most of my Cochin eggs are of good size thou.

I didn't think the pictures were too good as it's hard to see in the picture the chick or veining very well but thank you.

So, in ur opinion I need to watch for movement then in the air sac... Right?
Monday will be day 21 ( chicken hatch in 21 days) so they might go longer than the average chicken incubation but maybe not as long as a pea then??? But watch the air sac.... Thanks for your input!

Zazouse, what about that last egg pic... It's the one egg that is darkest and I can't see anything below the air sac unlike the others were I cansee chick movement and a bit of veining.. For the record I can't hear anything from it yet either and was thinking best not to turn it anymore... But will turn the others and keep an eye on their 'window'

. did you also have a rooster in with your hen?

 

[critters]

Yes a rooster was with them that's why I am unsure of what could hatch out and why I invubated her eggs... Cochin babies a good thing hit Cochin/pea babies a unique thing.. Either way I win!

Little guy is trying to pip out wrong end....
No wonder it looked as if it had a way to go...
Hope he makes it!

If he is pipping wrong end he may need a bit of help?

Of 6 eggs the one egg that I took pics of is pipping mid way of eggs wrong end... He broke shell but not membrane so I broke that for it so he could get air and broke shell a bit more for it... Put some aquaphor ointment on its exposed chick head, wing area. He is still living... Sleeping ... I will monitor him in hopes he continues to hatch on his own. I figure with his position he needs to absorb his yolk. Will let ya know if he makes it and if the others hatch out as well. Guess it will take some time before I know if any are Hybred..
It's kinda cute to shine light on him and he will squint eyes like ' hey, who turned the light on while I'm trying to sleep?'

If it is not out of the shell by now you will need to help, once that membrane gets exposed to air it will dry out and shrink wrap the baby, if this has happened you will need to carefully peal away the shell and apply a warm wash cloth to moisten the membrane so you can get it off of it, get some tape ready for the feet because if it has been i there to long the feet may be fixed in a curled position because once they are suppose to be out the bones start to harden keeping the feet in that position, chicks shoes for a couple days should fix this.
