First pip...question....

[snazzyboots]

And we have a 4th! Only 2 more to go...they haven't pipped yet...but hatch date isn't until tomorrow!!!

 

[Kbagwell1]

The 5th one has pipped!!! Come on and zip!

 

[Kbagwell1]

Fifth one hatched around 2pm...one to go!

Did you get the sixth one?! You're having an awesome hatch! Congrats

 

[Kbagwell1]

No sixth one yet....it stopped moving when the others hatched! Today is hatch day so we are crossing our fingers!

 

[Kbagwell1]

So...its 2 days past hatch date and the last egg hasn't hatched!! We are going to leave it in there until day 25 just to make sure because I know for a fact the egg was rocking and rolling on day 19 right before the others started to hatch. If it doesn't hatch, any ideas on why since I saw it moving just a few days ago????

I don't know why but I have a question. Did you remove the otherr chicks or are they still in the bator? And what were your temps at hatch?

 

[Kbagwell1]

The first 5 chicks were removed about 24 hours after they hatched....and as far as temp...I know most people are gonna bash me for following directions but I have it set at 99.5-100.5. That is what is recommended for the LG still air!

Hey girl. How's Mike and the kids? I'm not going to bash you because that's the temp I keep my LG and Hovabator on. No more, no less. My guess is either it just wasn't strong enough to break through and died (survival of the fittest) OR opening up the bator to move the other chicks could have messed with the humidity (which I have done a couple times and those last 2 or 3 never hatch even though you know they were moving and developed after candling).

Sounds like it took no time at all for CHICKEN MATH to get to ya'll. You guys wouldn't happen to have a LF EE or Ameraucana that is laying would you? I need at least 1 no more than 2.
