DIY brooder... Look ok??

[JillZaHulk]

I had to poke thru the shell of two because they pipped the air pocket early yesterday and hadn't broken thru the shell a while past the 24hr mark. Then there's the one that was laid between those two that still hasn't pipped the air sack. That one hit day 28 yesterday. I saw movement in that one this morning but haven't since then so fingers crossed. One of the two I had to assist this morning hit day 28 on the 3rd. When I poked thru the shell I saw dark clotted blood so I made the shell hole a little bigger to get a better look. It looked like it might've pipped thru a pretty good sized blood vessel so hopefully everything goes ok with that one. Both appear to be doing alright. Nothing blocking their little beak holes. Both opening their mouths. Both giving a couple little peeps from time to time.

They are slow pokes when it comes to hatching to so patience is very important. Sounds like if they are yawning they are absorbing the yolk so progress is being made.

Be sure to give them a water container they can't climb into. similar to the one I posted back a few pages.
