Hatch Day Help- Urgent!

Ok good! Sounds like they are doing good!

Wow, sorry, I never uploaded a pic.

Did the one in the back fully fluff?

 

[dustergrl]

yes.

 

[kinsiebrooke]

Ok good

I took the third out of the shell now- very little veining left. The fourth still has veining. The fifth is still peeping but no pip. The one I just took out seems very weak, but maybe with rest will perk up.

Ours it took about 24 hours before she started to move around, so it might take a while for her to gain some strength. I'm glad they are doing good!

Thanks! All four that had previously pipped are now out of the shell. The fifth egg is also now pipped. The two oldest have been eating and drinking, and the two youngest look like they couldn't be more upset at the world lol. One seems weaker than the other but they are both stumbling around. The humidity has dropped to more like 50% so we'll see what happens with this last egg. If I have to help again I will; my assisting seems to have gone well with the others.

Here's what we have moved them into.

Good! They are cute! What breed are they?

 

[dustergrl]

They are barnyard mixes. We have a black Australorp rooster and Australorp, silver laced Wyandotte, and Easter Egger hens. So really they could be any of those. They all look the same at the moment; we will see what happens when they feather out!

We'll see about the fifth chick. I am trying to help it out, but it is still pretty vascular. I'm likely going to leave it overnight and see what I have in the morning.
