Eggs are not moving.... Lockdown Day 20

Yes, there are a couple different layers of membrane.

Is the first chick in bator?
I leave them in there to encourage the others.

I took him out so he would dry up since humidity was still pretty high last night. He’s in brooder set up right next to bator. Sorry bad pic. I’ll get better ones later.

They will dry even with high humidity.

Ok, good to know for future reference. I was worried about him staying wet.

good job

Thank you. I don’t feel like I did a good job so far but I’m glad I have a lil’ chickie.

eggs with that much humidity may take longer to hatch, I had home made bator once, I had 6 eggs, one hatched on day 21, and the other 5 hatched day 23.

I cant see anything well (probably because I'm tired) but did you try to open the membrane?

Got corn starch? It'll stop bleeding

I had some veins still when some of mine hatched. They're are happily healthy

This piece of advice last night really helped me and probably saved the lil chick’s life. I was pretty frantic. I thought I killed him a few times. I was throwing things out of my pantry looking for the cornstarch thinking I could kiss you!
