DAY 18 SMALL AIR CELLS PLEASE HELP

[shelbylewis]

If s/he is out by the time you get home, can you take pictures and post them?

Absolutely! You guys have been here with me through this whole process, I plan on sharing every step!!

 

[shelbylewis]

Have you gotten to go home yet? If so, hows Wiggles doing?

Not yet! I am going back shortly! Wish me luck

 

[shelbylewis]

Hopefully! and yes the air cells were MUCH larger than they were a few days ago! I will keep you all updated when I get home this evening!

 

[shelbylewis]

That's really good!!! How is Wiggles doing right now?

He/She hadn't internally pipped this morning but now I am not sure, i'm hoping he/she will be at least internally pipped by the time I get home tonight!

 

[shelbylewis]

Well wiggles never pipped internally today :-( but the other chick sure has a lot to say this evening, hoping for at least one chick by tomorrow morning. Sad about Wiggles

 

[shelbylewis]

Thank you so much everyone!! He is certainly trying his hardest to come out

Also, the egg development wasn't as good as if they had been set in an upright turner....I'm thinking the eggs kept rolling to the same position when it did turn?

I found the laying down turners(Incuview here) to not turn as well as the uprights either....yolk seems to stay at one side when viewed during candling, had great hatches tho so<shrugs>

Anything further on Wiggles?

I am going to candle Wiggles when I take this chick (Pipsy) possible name lol, out of the incubator. I will let you all know what I see and try to get a pic for you if there is anything to see! @Matieus27 the baby is doing fine, chirping away and trying to figure out how to use it’s legs! haha, starting to fluff up now too

 

[shelbylewis]

Do we have any more peepers

Not yet, but I definitely see a triangle poking in and out of Wiggles' air cell! It was impossible to try and pick up on camera, hoping an internal pip over night tonight!

 

[shelbylewis]

I guess the others didn’t make it?

No other hatchers, I was waiting until today before opening them up and there’s no progress in any. I am thankful for my one happy, healthy, baby chick that came out of this incubation. My knowledge from all of this will help me be successful in the future and I have all of you to thank for that.
