Feed stores should carry the red heat bulbs. Do you have a tractor supply near you? I know they carry them.

I'm holding one while it dies. This sucks

It was the one that was trapped in its shell... It took forever to dry and fluff... It's been tiny ... And the others haven't gone near it.

I'm sorry about your loss.

That's so hard.

I'm loving all of the chick pictures! As far as the Rock Island eggs go, I believe that someone else hatched that brand and ended up with leghorn crosses, but I'm not positive.


I was talking to my goose egg and it started rolling around!

It hasn't internally pipped yet, but I know that the little guy is trying.

How's the goose egg? Did it hatch yet???

I'm incredibly worried. It's very late and still hasn't internally pipped. I've been candling every 6 hours and the embryo has really slowed down. I asked a few experienced hatchers all of which didn't think there was much hope. I'm probably going to attempt to make an artificial internal pip later this morning, but it's very risking.

I'd do that before I'd let it just die.

I'm saying a little prayer for the little goosey.

I pray for the goosie and all the slowpokes out there...

I have one that was zipping but is stalled....I see feathers but no movement... One's in a tough egg...the wide end is so narrow it's almost indistinguishable from the pointy end of the egg...first to start working on the inside of the egg but not hatched yet. All other 5 are out!

Stalled:

Stuck inside:

I'm hoping for movement from either egg but with 5 howling babies, it's hard to tell if they're active.
