Hey well it was day 27 so we did an eggtopsy on the two eggs that we thought were alive on day 21. The first one looked like it was about 24hrs from hatching when it died I think as although there was an egg sack still present there wasnt any veins. The second chick died before fully formed we were never 100% sure about seeing this one moving.
The question I have it the membrane was very wet on both the eggs and there was a lot of liquid was this just decomp or was there something wrong in the incubation like it being too humid?? I was so sad to see a fully formed chick (although it was alot smaller to some of the chicks I have seen hatch online) lying dead :'( Gutted that what I once saw alive in the egg had died. It had never internally pipped so was there a problem with the chick as it wasnt 'stuck' with its head tucked under???
