in the middle I would think it needs to be 99.5 no matter what.... anyone????

indeed - it supposed to reflect the core temp of egg

Stubborn chick is still laying on its belly with its back leg out. Sparky, you said hmmm... Any idea? Sally? Coch? I am guessing Sumi is asleep and oz is off saving lives! Anyone with assisted hatching experience know what's going on in that pic? Kinda wondering if I can fix it or if we should put it out if its misery. Would this be a good question in the emergency board?
Thanks friends!

the tea cup, put it in a tea cup so it forces its legs under it. a cup with a tapered bottom. that's what I have been doing with one of these frozen chicks.... I am uploading a video now to show you how they are progressing, cup method was all yesterday and today he is better but curled toes and falls over..... so I would see if you can get his feet under him.... do you have those links I posted yesterday for orthopedics? and yes post away on the emerg board just link us up

OOOPS! So, after tapping and float testing, I chipped open the air cells of the last two eggs. The first one was a late quitter. Day 16 or 17. The other one...oopsie. Still alive!!! I accidentally tore the membrane a little, so there's a leeetle bit of blood, but I misted the 'bater up really good and stuck the egg back in. I don't know if it would have hatched to begin with, it seemed kind of lethargic . No tapping, it failed the float test, so I got a little too vigorous. Hopefully I haven't damaged it too bad! So from 4 OEs, 2 AME/ORPs, and 4 CLs, I have 2 (maybe three) OEs, 2 AME/ORPs, and 0 CLs. Ah Murphy. You suck.
