Day 21 - Waiting... Waiting...

[Mmmatt13]

Well, bad news. I'm almost positive that The little baby passed away... She zipped almost all the way and ever since last night there has been no movement or peeping..

I'm heartbroken, I don't know what to do. I'm not very happy with my $400 incubator. You'd think it wouldn't cause problems.

Aww! Maybe she is just exhausted and resting??

She hadn't moved or peeped in 8 hours.

Thanks gfcm ~ today is # 22 for me but I do have a question for you also. So far I have had 4 babies hatch and I still have 4 eggs that pipped. When the last two babies hatched this morning, they moved the eggs around and I have seen no movement since then. Have they hurt the other eggs? I still have plenty of eggs that haven't pipped at all but when I candled them at lockdown, they were definitely moving around. What do you think?

I seriously doubt they hurt them. I wouldn't worry about it at this point.
