Well I'm not crossing my fingers now, it been to long and we had quite a few things left in order to get him out successfully. We only were on step one and there's many many more steps We needed to take. Not sure what happened to this person but doesn't look good for the problem child lol

Yeah, it's been too long.. really sad when you lose birds that you could have saved, i know from experience

Yep and once you mess with the egg by opening them you just can't expect them to finish on there own, doesn't quite work that way. Once you have interveen usually you have to continue until the end. so sad....

Thank God my hens always do the hatching work for me, I don't think I could go through the stress of hatching... butchering? bumblefoot surgery? sure, but hatching? I don't think so! lol.

UPDATE: You are so right @Lacrystol . Being my first time hatching eggs, I panicked at the first sign of what I THOUGHT was trouble. Sorry I haven't been online. I kept missing the responses and I finally got to a point of total meltdown. So I turned off the computer, got down on my knees, and I prayed for guidance through this. The end result....Happy Birthday to my Scoodie

Lil guy was so tired and took a while for his yolk to absorb, but I did not leave his side since Friday morning. His navel is a little protruding still, but reducing quickly. In this picture he is lifting himself up and starting to wobbly walk. I'm so ATTACHED to him. I am very aware in these next couple weeks anything can happen, but I have faith Scoodie is going to be just fine

ALSO...
At 3pm (central time) today...Scoodie's sibling Zooma was born! He litterally walked out of his shell, and has not stop trampling the incubator since LOL. I sat on my hands and was very patient with this one. Yes Lacrystol, I have LEARNED my lesson.!

I'm feel very truly blessed right now DD. Thanks to all that tried to help me. I was a nutcase!
