Eggs not hatching

[FridayYet]

So I now have 8 baby chicks, and more on the way...some of them I guess decided they were ready and popped out, a few others died and several I guess either weren't fertile or died very early in the development stage, I still have 23 eggs in the bator, 3 of them are just starting to peep, and several more are moving a little...So far everyone is healthy. Although this group is turning out good even though very late, I will plan on re-reading the listed above articles and see if I can do better for the next batch when I'm ready to do it again...I am really hoping I get a brooder from this group, and am looking to see where I can get my hands on an already matured brooder. Thank you all for the help.

That's wonderful! Congratulations on all the hatchlings!

So excited, I have quite a few baby chicks now all are doing well and all but one are completely healthy. One was born with an enlarged heavy knob on the back of its neck which kept it from lifting its head, but several days later the lump has begun shrinking and the chick is lifting its head and getting around normal. We even have our own little Diva in the group born with makeup ad everything...I think she may be light Brahma and amberlink for sure. I hope my pictures show up ok.

Just adorable!

Hope the little knobby one continues to recover and get stronger.
