Egg cells slant good but no signs of movement

He's out!! No blood. Membrane was tough. Head was between his legs. His feet do look curled up but is that because he just came out??

 

[critters]

CONGRATS! His feet might just be curled from just having come out so give him a few hours and see...

Give him his time to dry and fluff and sleep to gain strength and you'll know better then if you need to do anything for the feet but again Congrats on your first Peachick!

Thank you!!! He's doing good. The second pip looks like it's starting to zip. Big piece of shell off and the 3rd one just pipped! So all 3 that made it to lockdown look like they will make it!!

Yay! I've been following this. So glad #1 made it out safely!

 

[critters]

Good deal!

#2 hatched! It seems like a strong little feisty one! I have the assisted one in a seperate incubator because I had to open and close that one. But they can see each other through the plastic domes! #3 still has just a small pip and will probably hatch tomorrow morning...but we'll see! #2 has a lot of white on him!

#1 has a bump on his navel and looks like a little bit of the umbilical cord is hanging off. Should I just put some bacitracin on it before moving it to the brooder. Still not sure about his feet yet.

I just got home and I see I've missed all the excitement!!!!

Great job, you should be proud, the first assist can make you a nervous wreck, but you did great! And many thanks to all who stepped in and advised!

My chicks feet never look good until they are out for about 24 hrs, prior to that I don't even worry about them. And I use Neosporin on those kind of navels for a day or 2, try to make sure no other chicks pick at it. So glad he/she made it.!!!!

And #3 just hatched! Only 4 hrs after first pip!
