SHRINK WRAPPED : ( I should have helped it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One yellow peep... assuming its a bcm x comet, died in shell, the white plastic wrap around it didnt show breathing or anything since afternoon ....I took it out and tried to moisten but it was already dead.............

I hate when I KNOW AND DONT LISTEN TO my gut !!!!!!

1 is OUT running around making a ruckess and banging everyone else... so much for the egg carton idea lol.... oh its a yellow peep assuming bcm x comet

SOOOOOO I moistened the rest and chipped a tad of outer shell so I could see better in them to make sure they could at least breath, AFTER thouroughly READING & WATCHING my helping links!!!

2 Black peeps still in shells and 1 yellow in shell

2 no pips yet

Humidity at 74% Heat 99.5


SOOO WHERE Did I go wrong??? I KNOW EXACTLY!

I pretty much guessed at lockdown date....

I DID NOT RAISE HUMIDITY because I was afraid of drowning them!!! (Because the 4 days lockdown high humidity with Halo made the cells too small....) Not ideal situation at all.

Then when I saw the first pip I raised it, too late!!!

If you were perfect right from the get-go, you would not be human. And you wouldn't be learning and gaining experience and knowledge as you are doing now. Hang in there! Look forward! You are doing the very best you can do at this moment, and your next moments will get better and better.

I just finished dabbing with wet warm Qtip again, I have been going down every hour and just dabbing, this last time I saw some feet on two of them and the other one is really locked in good so I dabbed it again when I finished the others. They started to chirp and move heads alot so I am assuming they are looking better ??????????? The one that hatched is running all over them, I assume normal? Thanks for the support, this is freakin nerve wracking, but I didnt even know if I could do a staggered this way! So these hatching are miracles eh!! The black ones have yellow under their chins!!! I hope they make it they look awesome!!!
