Looks like you got them cozy. I had a Wellsummer chick years ago turn over on its back like that too. It didn't make it though. 9 out of 15? Wish it was 100%. That's still not bad for shipped eggs. Are they vibrant and active?

Thanks Claire for answering questions. Not had a chance to hop on the post today. Our family is getting big now!

Out of 25 eggs shipped:

18 in cartons on a Day 16 lockdown.

14 - look promising,
4 - I really don't know (this is my first time incubating), but I didn't have the heart to open. Claire said they probably wouldn't blow.

and of the 6 removed,

1 - never grew
5 - started growing and ranged from pinky nail sized to thumbnail sized and then quit with blood rings.

Today is day 18!

Thanks! So far they are eating and drinking just fine. My sick chick died last night, thanks for everyones advice. I'm happy with my hatch rate, I would love to have had 100% like I did with my Ameraucana's but it was WAY better than when I 1st started with 0-3%! I learned alot about hatching from pete55 on BYC, on his BYC page he has a lot of links.
