Hatch day fears

[Jotaylor]

Today is day 22, so far nothing. I candled yesterday and they all still showed signs of life ( i think). I have the humidity up to 60% and the temp is steady. No chirps and no external pips. All the other stuff I don't know how to tell if they have done any internal stuff.

Give it more time- chicks have gone to day 28 without pipping before and hatched just fine. If they still seem alive that is good.

Update on my chicks:
The 8 normal chicks are in the brooder fluffing out. But sadly, Robin the yolkie passed away last night. Squirt is still fighting but unfortunately his yolk sac seems to be getting worse, not better....

I'll post pics soon! I took them from my iPhone and BYC won't let me post them from an Apple product because it asks for a URL.
