HELP! I have a shrink-wrapped chick in my bra!

[Chicken Love]

I used the bra initially b/c I knew it was shrink-wrapped but not ready to come out and I wanted to keep a close eye on it and moisten the hole every so often so that maybe it would have a chance. I didn't want to put them both in the bator and keep opening the lid to check on the egg with the hole.

You're a good egg

Cross my heart.... I loved this thread.

I am glad to support you.

Name the surviving chick Roy. Roy A Cup.

OMG Breathe... Breathe.... You got my stomach hurting with that one.

I have to admit, I'm a little jealous. Old as I am, I'd have to tuck an egg in my belt to incubate one that way.

We older ladies would have no problem with humidity in our bras. . .just sayin'

OK. Well, last night I decided to get the rest of the shell and membrane off it, and there was no blood and it was breathing and sleeping when I went to bed. Checked it this morning and it had passed in the night.

I feel like I did all I could for the little one. I could beat myself up over the "I should have.." but I'm not going to. The other one, the one I did a float test to and it looked dead but I kept it anyway, is doing awesome and is as cute as anything.
We have sold 8/10 of mama turkeys babies so I'm thinking on seeing if she'll foster this one. Any thoughts? Her babes and this lonely chick are all bright yellow.

I am so sorry ,
Sometimes Mother nature has reasons for this and i know you did your very Best.

I hope the other one continues to strive . Best of luck .

She was abreast of the issue and did all she could. I too am very sad to hear that it had passed.

Im only 27 and I dont have a problem with humidity. I put my cellphone in my bra for a few minutes when I dont have a pocket and I pull it out all wet.!

Gee thanks, Loanwizard

Ok and for all who wanted pix:
This first one is of the lil 'un that didn't make it; shows how damaged the egg was and really, we were surprised it lasted as long as it did:



And THIS is the one who survived, we're calling it churken for the time being (Incubated under a turkey for 19 days):



(though I will take all your other name suggestions into consideration

)

Isn't s/he the cutest lil EE you've ever seen??

Thanks for your help, everyone!
