I’m sorry didn’t it make it?

Me too I told the hubby it hadn’t moved or done anything all day I even peeled back some of the shell so I could see the beak more. Once we started peeling back some shell we could tell it had gotten shrink wrapped. I told him we’re going to monitor this other one but I feel like it will be fine. He checked the other 2 and the air pocket had gotten bigger since this morning so I told him that was a good sign

It’s always sad when they get so close and don’t make it

It is the last time I was down to 1 egg and it quit before the lockdown period. So we were happy to have 4 out of 8 this time.

The second one has hatched but it’s cord is still attached to the shell. He was at the other end of the incubator and worked his way out.

It will dry and once dried if it doesn't disconnect on its own you can snip it with sterile scissors.
Congrats!

It’s drying and it’s feet have almost detached it. It’s laying down resting a lot trying to get it off.
