Tell me how it goes. Good luck

Thank you

Well, I hope not. I left it plugged in and it didn't do it again. It was 101 outside that day and really not in that part of the house. I was sweating so much I had to take a shower. I'm hoping it just got too hot in that corner. It's been holding at 99.5 ever since.

Fingers crossed. Just watch it close.

It's to early for any type of air hole. What was the reason for that?

Not sure what to do with #1.

All of the videos I've seen put a hole in the membrane and put in an oxygen tube on day 17. And this post : https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/half-shell-hatch-a-long.1371380/post-22761593

I think she's gone
Why are they dying on day 19???
I don't get it. What do I do for #4?

Can you tuck it back into the shell upright, like an assisted hatch?

I tried. I thought if I could get her out she might perk up, but I think she's gone.

I'm not going to sleep tonight.

Ok, what should I change the title to? I think that was a good idea.

 

[MGG]

Nothing too drastic...Maybe just add (Caution) at the end, or (Unsuccessful)...or something to alert anyone who might be thinking of trying it. Hopefully they will read through the entire thread and it will dissuade them to try until/unless they have a specific plan?

Ok, thank you!

Aw, awesome! Is she eating on her own at all yet?
I love it. I can't imagine ever getting another kind. If I need more capacity at some point I'll just get more of the NRs.

Not a bite.
