HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long 2016 w/ Hosts, Mike, Sally & BantyChooks

I doubt it did damage.

Hope everything is ok!

I don't think would hurt them, and it's better to go cool than go hot. I'll candle in a couple days and see. Though maybe the bantam eggs would show life now. I set them Sunday morning.

Woke up and my 'bator was at 98.4

I don't know how long it was that cool. Hopefully no damage was done and it'll just delay the hatch a bit.

oh no! at least cool is better than hot

Hi Liz!

So rookie question regarding duck eggs. I have pekins due today. Still no pips, I know they can take forever to hatch, but shouldn't I see SOMETHING by now?

One chick out, one more egg pipped. Nothing from the third.

Are you right on day 28? Any signs of internal pips?

I posted more on my other thread, but here are the two chicks that made it. They are having some leg problems, but I'm working on it. I already gave them vitamins. They sure are pretty babies, but I'm going to have to think long and hard if I want to do this again. I definitely learned some very hard lessons.

My guess is they are doing what I call the paddle walk. Sitting on their bums and walking with feet out front? They will get stronger and do well. I can't tell from these photos..but thinking no splay legs? If not, they will get stronger and be skippin around before you know it.
