Ok we opened the bator and out of 45 we had 30 live chicks ,there are still some eggs hatching, 2 chicks hatched but got trampled ,and two died before they could complete the hatch so I'm very happy and hopeful for the other eggs

Lost 2 more eggs due to the chicks piping upside down so when they broke though they where facing the floor and stuck to it but had one more check hatch successfully yay

I have another little survival story.

A broody silkie made a hidden nest. When I found it, I candled and there were already heart beats so I decided to let her sit. 1 day later, she cracked an egg causing the rest of the eggs to become covered in egg yolk. 2 days after that, she gave up on the nest. The eggs were cold that morning, but I left them to see if she'd come back. She didn't, so at 2 pm, I took them. I figured they were dead since it was only day 6 and they had been cold for at least 6 hours, but I threw them in the incubator anyways.

Well I just candled and every single one of these yolk covered eggs are alive.

Wonderful! Fingers crossed they'll continue to do well and all hatch.

Yay for the successful hatch and sorry about the losses!
