hatching experiment home made

[leedyfeathers]

Is there anymore chicks?? Any more new updates on them?? And I have an internal pip for my duck!! He's on day 25!!

No I have three that should have hatched so I candle them carefully one still moves no peep and the air sack still growing. The other I can see feathers in against shell but no responses when I tapped the shell lightly. I dont know if I should scrap it or let it go a week before scraping it??? Dont have enough experience to know. I checked my others that has a little less than week left and they are all good but two I think haven't took.

The chicks are eating and drinking the last one is just starting to eat drinks ok tho.. they streaching to look over box rim it wont be much longer they will have half the coop to play in.

The egg in question I opened it had just started turning putrid so must have not died too long ago water around it was turning brown.

I had another hatch .. EE feathered legs spot on head is small almost unable to see.

So now I have four.. the newest even though it two days later at hatching you cant tell for other than her being unsteady on her feet but she is challenging the pecking order... and winning.
