Foamy bubbles on hatch day where baby is pipping

[MadamContrary]

So happy to hear that! Out of curiosity, did you start counting the days from the day you set them or from the first 24 hours afterwards?

From the 1st day I put them in incubator.. I have 6 babies now!! And 3 more are pipping almost out! So I don't know what in the world has happen, but Thank God they are coming and hatching, I just need to get old shells out of incubator, I'm scared to lift lid do to humidity level. I was able to take it down some, so 8 don't want to interrupt the hatching. But I do have my 5 babies in brooder and let me tell you- you always have the one that's " the shit"..pecking order I know..but my 1st one is cocky and running the roost, I think he's a rooster...They have turned out so silkie, shiny, gorgeous, beautiful biddings!!. So I have 5 in brooder, 1 has hatched in incubator but not time to transfer, and 3 are about to pop out their she'll..SO 25 MORE STRESSFUL LITTLE BABIES NEED TO START PIPPING..THIS IS DAY 24(Saturday)...
I'll send pic in morning of the beauties!! They are photogenic ! My husband took pics on his phone! (PROUD FATHER, BRAGGING RIGHTS)
Lol

When we're counting days, we start 24 hours after setting, so that make more sense. Your peeps are not as far behind as thought. Incubator might still be running a bit cool, but most importantly babies are hatching! Chicks and thier antics are so much fun

I have one that hatched last night and keeps turning over on his back and looks as if the umbical cored if you will,. Is hanging on him still..I'm putting him in a cup with paper towel and covering him up and hand giving him water w/ vitamins..or sugar..
But his with me on my hip I'm carrying him around in a prime mate satchel to keep him warm and to keep him upright position...

Oh my. Stop forcing any and everything into its mouth. That is a good way to kill a chick.

Stop carrying it around with you too. Put it back in the bator where it can stay warm.

I haven't gave it any food or water yet, I was going to try but I checked with this site to see if that was going to be a good call, and carrying him around again I was just checking on this site to see if that would have been a good call, he's still in incubator, and no food or water has been given..
Gosh lady I'm stressed the hell out and the last thing I need is for you idk who you are but you to come at me the way you did.

You're the one that typed out that you were giving it sugar water and vitamins and carrying it around on your body.

I'm not making this stuff up...I'm just reading what you wrote.

I didn't say you made it up and I said it ..
But still when ones stressed out over these little cuties and this hatch I have had some issues I've never had to deal with, I'm not looking for people to be not so understanding, or abrasive..I'm a sensitive person and I'm sorry but your comment I felt was out of bounds, and if anything I sd was out of bounds to you I apologize.
I just want to do want is best for this baby chick to get him right.

I understand you want to fix the chick.
The best chance the chick has at this point in time... Is keeping it warm and giving it time.

Forcing water into its mouth can be deadly.
Carrying it around on your person can be deadly.


I highly recommend before you set eggs again to make sure that your eggs come from a well-fed flock and to make sure that you buy and calibrate a humidity gauge and thermometers.

These couple of things mentioned above can make a huge difference in the health of a chick once it hatches.
