Day 17; Power Outage, eggs got cold :(

Yes. Even though it is making a larger pip, since it still hasn't gotten through the membrane, in another few hours that will be 24 hours so at that point I'll probably make a hole in the membrane where the beak is and take away some of the shell around it and see if it can do the rest itself. I think I'll call it McNugget

Good luck with mcnugget & your other hatching eggs. I woke up to find another chick had hatched & got to watch the last chick as it was coming out of it's shell. They are all doing good in the brooder. Maybe one of yours will hatch soon & you have to post a pic!

Someone turned my incubator off and it was lockdown day. I AM SO UPSET!!! I found out it was off for 4 hrs. The eggs were cold. I have turned it back on and am still going into lockdown to give it a try. Wish me luck. Glad you are having success after your power outage sireniasolaris. That gives me some hope.

It will be fine Mine was off for quite some time (possibly twice as long) and I still had 12 hatch. 3 had some funkiness going on with them and of them, two didn't make it, but I have 10 wonderful, happy chickens that are getting super spoiled! (Almost 2 months old now! )

Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Thanks! I will.

I am on day 14 - 18 of my 3rd hatch. The breaker must have tripped yesterday while I was making yogurt. It was off for an estimated 18 hours. Today was the day to remove the egg turner and baton down the hatch. When I started moving the eggs I noticed they were cool. I proceeded as planned and restarted the incubator. Hopefully I will start getting chicks next week.
