hatching around the 26th post UPDATES here

[willowcol]

ok my hatch is done, 6 made it to hatch 5 lived 1 just never seemed right and died a few minutes ago. 4 pipped the small end 1 of those lived the other ones didn't. I had alot that died around a week they were just tiny embryo's. I guesss the temp spike got them. I am so happy! I will post pic's tomorrow. Has been a long weekend. My son turned 14 sat. and had 8 boys stay sat. night and they didn't leave til 6:30 tonight, plus my grandson turn 5 sat. also. At least his friends got to see the buttons hatch, they thought it was cool.

Did you open all the eggs? I was told to wait 3 days after the last hatch before shutting it down, though it didn't sound like you found any 'live ones'.

Oh, and guess what?? My temp spike did not kill the ameracaunas!!!!

I have one baby out and one peeping!! I hope that one makes it, there is another one that should hatch from what I can tell, but so far nothing. I candled the other eggs after the first one hatched, cause there was no pips or anything. When I picked up that egg it peeped so loudly it's a wonder I didn't hear it from the outside!! But with the quail and duck babies in there, it's surprising I can hear anything!

I hope the ameraucana is a girl, I'll name her Miracle, cause she truly is!!

She has the cutest little puffy cheeks!

Well I figured I would open a few just small hole in the big end and see. I didn't want to leave my humidity high if they were no good as I only have 1 bator, and I have my Polish eggs in there to. I hadn't been able to turn them since my my first pip. So I started opening them and figured if I found 1 that was still ok I would stop, but nope a bunch of quiters and a few that never developed. Today would have been day 19 on those so figured it was probably done.

Wanted to add good luck with that pip and Hatch!! Yeah!!!

I'm up to 4 pips, only one that I know for sure actually put a hole in the membrane. No hatches, not even a single zip, yet. I'm trying to figure out how to wake up sleeping chicks..........
