I hope I am joining this group in the correct way. I will be setting 24 eggs next week.

I just got home... Checked on the bator-- 5 have hatched so far (3 black chicks, 2 golden ones) and 2 are zipping (both black chicks) I can't tell weather or not the rest of the eggs have externally pipped. Woot!!!

Ugh!!!! I wanna scream and cry!! My eggs are on day 21 and no piping or anything!! I'm so frustrated! I figured at least 1 would be doing something! I see some of the eggs rock and move but that's it! I had good temp and humidity throughout!

Candle and tap tomorrow to check up on them to give you a pc of mind!

if you have to mist the side of the bator to keep up by instant humidity

Ughhh!!!! Both of the "zipping" chicks just hatched, and one of them hasn't finished absorbing his yolk sac!!!

how much isnt it?

 

[Sally Sunshine]

There isn't an internal pip yet, but my goose egg is rocking! Yay!

I'm a little worried about the air cell not being large enough though....

oh YES COCHINS!!

Squirt and Robin
The two "yolk" chicks
Squirt had already been hatched for a while when I got home and his sac isn't very big and it's pretty much absorbed and dried up except for a tiny little bit
Robin on the other hand just hatched while I watched and has a little bulge of a yolk sac still in there, where it looks like he hasn't quite finished absorbing and his navel is still open. He also hatched out of the wrong end of the shell and his yolk is still attached to his shell. What can I do to save him??

your doing good sparky just dont be too quick to remove them from the incubator, while they are still damp they easily get chilled even when you open the incubator, they can stay in there up to two days. they actually help the others to hatch through vocalizing.
