3D I would first candle them, if I see nothing them maybe the water test and then I'd make a hole in the air sac side the size of a pip to a little big to see inside.... here is the last one that I semi-assisted because it was late and I was worried....



and this is how he made his own zip and made it out... so no harm done.

OK so far my eggs are looking good. It's day 7 and all are developing well.

My question is one of the eggs' air pocket has moved to the side of the egg...is this common? The chick is lively but I'm worried about when it starts to hatch. Not going to work out if the air is on the side. Anyone hear of this?

 

[3Dchicken]

Yes, I think i will candle them later. They are so cute with their foster mom!

The one in the 6th picture looks so sweet! :3

I have heard of it, Keric, but I sadly have no information on that kind of thing, sorry.

WOW Candyman, love the pics.

Sorry to hear that 3D maybe candle, water test, and I would not be able to stand it and I would probably try and take a peak inside well I know I would. Let us know what happens.

AHHHH!

One is alive!!! I have HOPE! I will name the one labelled "E" HOPE!! I saw it's beak pushing into the air cell!!! I could see it moving! WOOT!

I honestly thought all of them were DEAD! Whew! I candled them ALL and only Hope was pushing their beak into the air cell! Omg, I feel so happy! Some I think are dead- they have a lot of air in them (and not at the air cell). Some I think might be viable! Hope has given me hope, though!! Wheeeeeeeeee!!! I am shaking. I pretty much flipped out when I saw the beak!

Thankyou 3D and kats

Keric good to hear they all are doing OK, about the air cell on the side, I have read that people stand the egg in carton position blunt end up, then the air cell adjust back to its position, read a little before doing it
