I started out with 12 eggs to hatch. I split up the bunch and let my mom hen try to hatch 6 while I hatched 6 in my incubator. One in the incubator turned out to not be fertile and mom hen kicked on out because it died in the egg. She ended up with 4 hatching and I ended up with only 2, but two of my eggs still look like something is in them. How long should I wait to see if they will hatch. Today 4/26/12 will be the third day of them not hatching with the rest of them. I'm also having issues with one of the chicks that I hatched from the incubator. This chick had a very hard time getting out of the egg to the point its feathers started to dry with some of the egg shell stuck on them. When it finally came out, it still had the umbilical cord attached and its tummy looked bloated. Its still alive, but last night it had a bit of green stuff come out of its mouth. Its eating and tries to drink. It gets stuck on its back a lot and and still wobbles around. Now my questions to everyone is, how long should I wait till I toss these other two eggs out and what should I do with this wobble chick?
Thank you
