You housing chicks in fish baskets now? Sure looks like it in the top 2

Kind of what I was thinking, or it had fallen into a tub of water...

No, I used some wet paper towels to keep the assisted one moist.
When it finally broke free, it was so weak and the other one was picking on it, so into a clear container for protection.
The other could look but not touch.
They are both free ranging in the bator now that the assist has dried up and found its legs.

do they lay well? they are just one color variation with them? they lay a what color egg with them ears?

Good evening everyone!
Yes Sally, there were lots of very good hatches, even if you disregard Ur's lucky hatch!
My first Hal experience on the other hand was brutal.
33 set, 25 clears, I blood ring, 2 late quitters, 3 DIS, one on time hatch, and one assisted hatch this afternoon.
I had 7 make it to lockdown, and then experience temp spikes over the next two days.
I consider it lucky I got any at all out safely.
Looking for another silkie Roo as we chat, I set another 20 silkie eggs on the 26th, candled this evening and the majority do not look good. Only found about six that show good veining so far. I will wait til day 14 to pull the plug on the questionable ones.

brutal! but inferts are not your issue dang roosters!

Some pics of the two littles, and two of the DIS. Yolks did not absorb

Dis I cant open, were they pipped and/or at least in position?

well not only where the eggs in the incubator dead... the two chicks died

awwwww sorry sweetie!

OMG... so sorry, pete!!! That's a total buzzkill...

The other could look but not touch.
They are both free ranging in the bator now that the assist has dried up and found its legs.

Sweet! Glad the little one's okay and able to hang out with the other!

Sally, couldn't get the spoiler to work properly so I removed the pic before anyone got grossed out.
Or so I thought! Whites was on a hair trigger to reply, his post has the Dis.
They all seemed well positioned, except the assist. That one was tangled up a bit, never would have pipped with out the assist.

Took me a 2nd look (after I busted your chops, naturally), but I eventually realized what it was...neat idea
