I have a batch of Light Brahmas in my bator. They are at day 21 today. I am worried. I hear peeps and one is slowly breaking thru. But not really progressing. It's been since this morning the baby has been working to get out. I am only opening to add water , I also have a wet sponge in there. I think I am just being a worry wart
they can take up to twenty four hours after pip to hatch. You can add water through your vent holes with straw and syringe. When you open bator during the last three days the humidity goes out and dry air comes in and this can dry out the membrane and the chick wont be able to turn in the egg to zip. Should not open bator at all. I wouldnt worry yet it hasnt been over twenty four hours. But dont open bator anymore
Well one that has been working all day is now out I've been waiting for these babies so hard to get anything other then RR's in my area. So I decided to hatch my own. I'm excited and hoping this little guy lets others know how roomy it is in the outside world. My niece and nephew have stayed the past two nights waiting, so I am so happy they got to watch. To watch the kids faces, it's so neat. I will be taking advice and sitting on my hands for the rest to hatch.
