In the Brooder
Hi guys,
It's day 21 and I woke up yesterday to 1 chick first thing in the morning, and 4 by the afternoon, as well as 2 zipped. I left the two that had zipped more than 24 hours before I decided to help them, since they were looking dry. lo and behold, they were totally shrink wrapped, with the membrane stuck to their fuzz.
I helped them out and they are chirping away in the incubator as I type this. (Phew!!!) I think they'll be fine.
I'm worried, however, about the rest. There are 29 more eggs in there to go. I haven't seen pips on any of them.
I've upped the humidity. It was around 65 and I have it closer to 80 now with sponges. Are the rest toast now, since the humidity obviously was too low? Or if they haven't pipped can they still be ok?
The anxiety is killing me. Ahhh!!!!
