[Chick_In_The_Burbs]

All the remaining eggs were dead.

I did an eggtopsy on one; I will post a link to a seperate thread for opinions on what went wrong. I don't want this happening again.

Hi 3D

 

[3Dchicken]

follow up: (breech chick). after helping with chipping too early--i put the egg back in the incubator. a popped in some wet paper towels to the incubator to bring up humidity. about an hour later i started getting real worried about shrink wrap, so i took a 3 inch by 3 inch wet paper towel corner and laid it over the exposed membrane, being careful not to cover the breathing hole.

i went to bed and when i awoke the chick had hatched. it seems a little weak and a little sticky, but ok.

thanks for your help!

one thing i've learned-- whether it is just a coincidence or not--is that the lower left hand corner of my incubator always makes a stuck chick.

and, gosh, even though my humidity meter seems to say my humidity is fine--maybe it isn't. and the weird thing is i calibrated it.

well, going to give these other 24 eggs some more time, but i'm not going to bet the farm on them. no pips as of now. day 22. 7 chicks under the brooder. 2 were busted aircells.

Yay! good luck!

Sparky are the plays all done now? Did you have fun?? whats up next on the to do list?

Ok, went to get pictures and the little one had managed to get loose but it looks like you were right. I moved as quickly as I could and the little one is now sharing the rubbermade tub. S/he isn't as bad as the first chick and I don't see any yoke. More worrysome to me right now is the chick seems sluggish and very, very tired. It is probably just having spent the last two hours getting free and the scare of the Hand picking him/her up but...

Moe the rooster cocka-doodle-doo D,: fertile eggs, acts like a roo... Roosters against the law in my town, and if the neighbors complain I will have to get rid of him! But he is my buddy! He is my favorite!!!! D,: D,: D,:

Awww. Pictures? Also did you get eggs yet? I still haven't. Actually I was thinking about just going to the feed store and see if they had one chick so Hope won't have to wait much longer to have a buddy. :/ I still want to hatch eggs though. :3
