DECEMBER Hatch-A-Long!😊

I guess you'll find out soon enough.

Some of the deathlayer crosses lay green eggs! My friend showed me some of the eggs his laid and those are the only breed he has

I’m a bit concerned about the last egg. The chick I guess actually piped this morning. It didn’t break through the membrane and its made no sound. The humidity dropped off last night so I was worried the little guy was being shrink wrapped. So I’ve added water to the incubator and this morning I poked a small hole in the membrane and I wiped it with some olive oil. This evening I chipped the shell enlarging the hole I’m going to leave it alone but this chick has been silent this whole time I’m not very hopeful.

Sounds like you are doing what you can. Sending positive thoughts your way.

Sorry for so many early losses. Fingers crossed for the remaining 3!

Of my 12 scrambled shipped Deathlayers I have one single embryo! One early quitter but the rest, there was no hope. I had a singleton hatch a few months ago and he/she is the sweetest! So I am hoping this little one hangs on...then it will be a pampered chick. I have 5 Deathlayers that are about 3 weeks old it can join.

I was able to get a verification of damage from my USPS for my insurance claim for the scrambled state of my eggs. I’ll let y’all know if it is favorable!

Hope this last little one pulls through!

I'm coming here on a break from poly-sci-final-essay-hell (why did I decide to take a hard class??) to let you all know that the egg I pulled from under my Ayam Cemani hen is internally pipped! I don't believe she laid the egg, I remember hers as being a lighter cream color, but I could be wrong. I guess we will see when it hatches!

Good luck with the egg and the essay!
