So sorry you had to kill the chicks I wouldn't have been able to!

If it came to a choice of not letting them suffer or suffering, you'd choose the latter? Let them die a slow and painful death? It's surprising what a person can do when it comes down to it.

@nightingale5151 - With your chicks sing so late to hatch and having the two deformed ones, I am thinking your temps during incubation were low. I would suggest you calibrate your thermometer before attempting another hatch.

Sooo sorry youve had to go through this with a first attempt to hatch.
It's a difficult task to end their suffering but you are to be commended for doing it. It's a jobe none of us enjoy but it's what's best for them sometimes.
If you'll let her, bobby-j can hopefully help you get your incubating all sorted out so you can try again. It's a learning process, keep trying and you will learn and have healthy chicks in no time.
