Pebbles always flips himself on his back and can't get flipped back over. Anyone know why?

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

I've had the occasional chick that does that and they generally grow out of it after a week or two. I'm not sure why they do it or if there's anything that can be done beyond keeping an eye on them and flipping them back over when they're stuck. I hope Pebbles is able to keep his feet underneath him soon!


Congrats on your hatch, by the way! You've got some beautiful Blue babies! Sorry that so many didn't make it, but it's truly impossible to know what the proper action is to take in the moment with hatching eggs, so don't beat yourself up about not assisting them!

I put mine into lock down last night, so time for me to really get anxious I saw what looked like draw down happening already in some of the Chocolate / Chocolate Cuckoo eggs, so I guess they were ready!

Thanks! He is doing better. Literally crawling on me as I type this.

Mine started hatching last night! I've got 5 for sure Blues, one that could be a dark Blue or a Black, and one Chocolate so far! Here are a couple of the oldest under the EcoGlow

Yikes, that’s was a rough hatch. Have you done any trouble shooting for the late quitters?

 

[UThobbyfarmer]

I’ve found these helpful in the past when I’ve had similar situations.

No. I have a sucky Chinese incubator. It always has late quitters. I have hatched in it 4 times. Usually, out of the ones that make it to lockdown, 50% hatch.

That being said, it adds up now. It never has a true stable temperature or humidity. I was changing it all through lockdown. It kept spiking really high.
