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

[Sally Sunshine]

This is what a shell looks like from a WET CHICK!

NASTY! I had one very large chick and it was wet, I will assume because of the size of the chick and the egg was also huge, one that didnt fit into the egg slots in the cabinet!
Chick is fine, believe it or not, hatched on its own and didnt suffocate itself on that crap! @NestingHillsSC is this what your talking about? This was the issue earlier this winter, and the reason I am running without any water until hatch!

I am also doing dry hatch--no water until first pip. have had problems with too high humidity, never shrink wrapped. Can't believe you got a chick out of this mess!

Yeah I know. So my dh just said he can now see the chick and it seems to be eating it's inner membrane. Is that normal?
