Half Shell Hatch-A-Long! (Caution, unsuccessful, please read whole thread before attempting)

Well, kinda hard to move much when squished up in a small space.

I've noticed movement on mine slows down about day 16. The only way I can elicit a response is with a light or by tapping on the side of the incubator. In a normal egg there really isn't a reason for a chick to be opening it's eyes and looking around I'd imagine.
Still got everything crossed this one makes it.

That's true. I'll just watch and wait then.
Thanks! Me too.

I didn't read all 99 pages so maybe someone already posted this.

Loved this video.

It opened its eye some more! In little flutters. If it makes it I'm keeping it, no matter what gender.
@MysteryChicken did you stop getting alerts again?

Nope, I didn't get any notifications.

Trying this experiment next year.

Suggestion: Try using this disinfectant after cleaning the incubator with hot soapy water? Your incubator needs to be as sterile as possible.

It's all natural, & uses silver ions.

Ok, I will order some.
What do you think about #4? Is there anything you would suggest?

I'll take a look.

Is #4 the one still in it's eggshell, or the one you attempted to save?

The one in its shell. It's the lone survivor. I so badly want her to make it.
