Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

How long ago did it pip? They can take forever to start zipping, seriously. And then they can take forever to zip too.

Well, I wasn't in that same room at the time, but it was probably around 9PM. It's been 18 hours. I'm gonna give him some more time

That's just awful

You should go give them a crash course in incubating correctly. It doesn't sound like these people know what they're doing. Poor chicks...

ETA: I was replying to Cochin's post! LOL TnP and I posted at the same time.

Still haven't heard ONE peep from him yet... Even when he was pipping.

Quote: That's normal. They take around 24 hours from pip to zip, though some are quicker and some take longer.

They are quieter than chicks. The guys I hatched just got on with it, except the one I assisted. He loved the attention and was telling me all about it!

That is disgusting!

Sorry. I meant the classroom chicks.

Sally, I adored my button quil! Can I get some eggs from you? We lost ours when Julia forgot to lock the cage door we kept our 4 "pets" in. Our cat was quick. She was so sad, as we'd kept them for a few years, and that was her first accident.

awwww I hatched because I need a boy for my three hens, so when I have fertile eggs I will certainly post some to you! I wish I could send you some of these babies! Don't know what to do with all of them!

I brought home 2 new chicks yesterday.

Once every year, the high school hatches chicks for baby animal day. It's when students bring in baby animals so that the younger kids can come and learn about them. Anyways, they were opening up the eggs that didn't hatch and found 2 still alive. They took them from their shells and left them. A friend of mine called asking me to come in to check them out because they wouldn't dry. When I found them, it was obvious what had happened. The infamous broken yolk sacs. The poor babies very covered head to toe and their vents were sealed because of it. Thankfully their navels had sealed.

She told me that no one is willing to take home the 2 weak crusty chicks and since it's Friday, the teacher will cull them at the end of the day. I felt bad for them so I took them home with me. They had curled toes, and they were a huge mess. It took me forever to get them clean, but they are now fluffy and active in the spare incubator. What am I going to do with them...

awwwwww coch!
