February 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[PetraStonegirl]

Day 7 candling results:

55 Flowery- 3/4 infertile, 1/4 developing with saddle air sac.
Swedish Flower- 1/3 detached air sac/scrambled, 2/3 developing.
Isbar- 3/3 developing (damn, those are really hard to candle, even with 1300 lumens!)
Hedamora- 2/2 developing.

So, 8/12 developing. Some of these birds will be my child’s 4H project. She spotted the 55 embryo boogying around and was so excited.

I have a pip this morning, right on schedule.

I have 18 eggs at day 11 now. I lost one this morning that wasn't developed at all since I put it in. As I was candling my little sister came bursting in and brushed past one of the eggs which rolled a little before I could catch it . It cracked a tiny bit. You'd hardly notice. Can it still hatch?

I'd say yes

Apply liquid bandage on the crack, available at most pharmacies/drug stores.
Some people also use nail polish or wax, but I prefer the liquid bandage.

Chick #1 is out! I can hear that the second one is internally pipped; hopefully it will make an appearance this evening.

Well been hearing power is out in our area from yesterday morning and won’t be restored till around 4 pm this afternoon. Feeling fortunate to be on solar power. Hopefully our internet comes back then though, meant be having a video interview for a job tomorrow morning! Got one bar of cellphone signal which drops in and out lol but at least my eggs and chicks are safe

Do you have any liquid bandage that you can put just on the crack?
