Wow beautiful pics!!

Nothing has changed. It is starting to smell, is there anything I can do about that?

I had a temp spike no idea how, it went up to 104 for at the most an hour. Would this kill them?

No way to know for sure what it did, just have to wait and see, I guess. As long as it's back under control now...how about your broody? Any idea if hers are hatching yet? Ick, I know that smell. Not much to do except open the air vents.

 

[Corey NC]

This broody hasn't been great, I don't think any of hers will hatch. she is in a large dog kennal and a small run in the garage but she has been losing interest in the eggs. She is now locked in the kennal and has pretty much no choice but to sit on them. I will let her out once I am sure those eggs won't hatch.

Through the night (between midnight and 6am) my temps dropped to 97. I doubt any of these eggs will hatch. Why am I so crappy at hatching eggs?

Corey,

Don't give up yet!

what I've heard is better to dip low than to spike high. Might delay your hatch?? Veteran hatchers will have to chime in on that. Honestly, though, your chicks are probably fine.

Hang in there I've had a couple late hatchers myself.

 

[Corey NC]

I took the two that hatched out cause I just couldn't tell if anything was peeping or moving with them in there. I can now here someone peeping and what sounds like either a pip or someone starting to pip I just cant tell who.
