Hatch is over

[gabrielle1976]

So I think my hatch is over . Is it horrible of me that Im not shure how many babies I have I think i have 20 or 21 but they are zipping around like little fuzzy bumble bees and are really hard to count. I didnt remmber to count the eggs I threw away when I cleaned up the incubator I have 2 in the incubator I took the tops off of the babies are breathing but they didnt pip the air cell even so I dont have much hope. I had a few eggs when I candled befor lock down that were really behind all the others I dont know why some grow like that but usually they dont make it as they arnt ready to hatch and Im gonna guess there has got to be something wrong with there matabolizim or something as they dont grow right Im not just taking a few days behind but what would apear a good solid week or so . I will update incase they do pull thru.
So lets say 20 babies out of 29 that went into lock down = 68% ? I should have been able to do better but Ill take it and hope for a better hatch for my next one.. I will up date with pictures soon.

Congratulations on your hatch!

I, too, don't bother counting unless I'm selling baby chicks.

Well one of the little ones I opend the shell at top decided to come out . He is tiny I gave him a little bath his fuzz was stuck to him. I didnt expect it to do much but it perked him up quite a bit instead of always laying down and sleeping he is sitting up a little . I put him in with the rest of them .He will hopefully be ok .

I will give the other two till tonight then I will have to clean out the incubator and make shure everything gets a good though scrub down and air dry becuase I put sevral sets of eggs in lock down tammrow.
