Meh. If they are that dumb, I'm not a proponent of reverse Darwinism...survival of the most idiotic. Still, I've never had one get stuck. Not that there is any room for them to get a leg under it with the grippy shelf liner I use.

No, and these were bantams too, so that might have been part of how they were able to do it

I had 5 eggs left in the incubator…3 BBS and 2 Chocolate. I took out one of the BBS eggs that had quit for sure and the chocolate eggs looked like they had quit as well but I left them in there just in case. I’m only expecting the 2 BBS to hatch.

And no…I didn’t move my eggs or jostle them around at all aside from taking them out to candle 3 times during the whole incubation period. I don’t know if the humidity/temp was off or if someone messed with them while I was gone but yeah

I hatch Seramas in mine. The last one that hatched was in there for 48 hours. But it is what it is.

I think the shipping was just hard on the eggs. I'll candle the ones from you and see what they look like tonight.

It's bedtime again

But look! Not the one I swear was moving earlier, but it's definitely chirping

Have you been running that radiator heater?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Have you been running that radiator heater?

No. It's not even plugged in. I was just too lazy to move it out of the way

 

[ColtHandorf]

No. It's not even plugged in. I was just too lazy to move it out of the way

I was going to say that would definitely mess with the humidity.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Nah, it's warm enough if I have a jacket on, I don't need it on in there. We just live in a desert. It's in a good spot now, but it's also raining outside too

The neighbor has 2 pips

 

[JacinLarkwell]

One or two Cornish pips, still the one araucana. But it's made some progress since last time too. Hoping for more pips before I go to work tomorrow since I want as many as possible ti give to Cheese at once in case she gets off the nest then.

Of course, if they all look really similar colorwise, I can probably add a straggler or two a little later.

Crow and one of Cheese's daughters have been brooding a few days as well. Crow is usually great for babies, but she's so small she can really only fit 3 or 4 safely most times so they're a last resort for fostering. I wish I still had my Japanese bantam, she would have taken these all with no worries
