Ok. I have one in the bator but never thought to have one outside.

It's okay.

Egg 1 has hatched! Do you have a name suggestion?

Eggs 5, 6, and 7 are pipped. (7 is a new pip) View attachment 3137454

He is staying at the front of the bator so its hard to get a picture.

His membrane was dry and and I had to wet it. Another eggs membrane is dry and I wet it. My humidity is at 60% and my temp is 37.7 C. Why are they drying out?

So cute.

Is it from a blue hen and blue roo? I got my 2 at a few days old but don't think they were that light

Its from a black roo and a splash hen.

Hmmm can they get splash? That is one combo I don't know much about

Not supposed to.

This is what the dried egg looks like and has looked like since about 3 am.

I really feel like egg 5 (the one that pipped at 3am) is stuck. It has made no progress since the initial pip, I cant see a beak, it rolls around, and I believe that I hear distressed peeps.

That chick is darker than splash generally goes, it's just a lighter blue. It happens! Congrats on your new little one!


As for your other one, it looks fine to me. A truly dried membrane has a yellowish look to it, not that whitish, papery appearance. If it only pipped at 3am, it may not progress any further for several more hours. It is hard, but I'd keep my hands off it for at least that much longer. If you do decide to intervene, just remember to go SLOWLY, and immediately put it back if you see ANY sign of blood whatsoever!
