I am so upset!!!

[debilorrah]

Yesterday, day 21, two chicks hatched and 5 more pipped around 3pm. As of right now, 4:15 pm (25 1/2 hours later) nothing more. No more movement, nothing.

Isn't there always a little shred of hope?

 

[ilovechickens]

you are 2 hatches and 5 pips ahead of me, I had 12 RIW's and not one hatched or even made it to day 21

I am afraid the ones that pipped are dead. No movement for 25 hours is not good. Unfortunately I am not home for another 90 minutes. ACK!

I just hope I get home in time. I can't leave work early either.

We had to help a few of our last night. Of course they only recommend it when there's no hope but it sounds like you're desperate.

Read this thread if you decide help the chicks out.

So i get home and the polish egg has turned and it's still moving in there. The other cochin eggs have just a slight bit more pip, but I do not want to open then thing and kill something taking the polish out. 27 hours now!!!!

I have no idea what to do. Open it and add steaming water and help the polish. Leave it alone? WHAT???
