Ok, I know that there is someone else out there that used a fish tank air supply/bubbler, run through warm water to add warm, moist air....that's where I got the idea from. I used it in my last hatch. Considering the previous 3 hatches were HORRIBLE - probably due to low temps. My next eggs, I upped the temps during a staggered hatch. The oldest eggs (least amount of time at the higher temps) 1 out of 13 hatched. The next batch, a bit longer at the higher temps, I added the warm moist air at lock down. I had 5 out of 12 hatch - 1 had to be culled, and 1 died due to a prolapsed something. Last batch (longest time at higher temps) that got locked down 4 days early (with the warm moist air), 4 out of 4 hatched.

So, I think the raise in temps in my incubator helped the most. But I think the added oxygen did too. At what point is extra oxygen helpful? I know you block the air vents early days to restrict oxygen, when I open those vents, can I also add my warm air? What day should I remove the vents? Day 18?

Thanks!!

Or the apple treesRoad

So I tried to pull this male legbars foot back through his yolk sack, and it burst.
I culled him as you can guess. but wanted to show you images.

he actually turned and zipped and hatched out like this! the poor thing! @casportpony

seeing this again makes me wonder how this doesnt happen more

Sorry you still have your headache.

I do have one and hugs are very welcome and needed thank you so very much!

I'll post here too because it's cool.
Do I need to help it or wait??

@campingshaws whatcha do?

Hey y'all, I need some help. I have an Ancona duckling that hatched out yesterday, and it has a messed up foot. I should've taken pictures before I tried to splint it, but it's too late now and it took me too long to do to unwrap it now. The way it's holding it looks like a slipped achilles, but the achilles looks fine. It's what I guess is a tendon that runs down the front of the leg and into the middle toe that appears to be messed up. I doesn't want to hold straight, and there's definitely a little bit of tension when I straighten it out. Does anyone have any ideas? Right now I have a peice of cardboard bandaged like a shoe and it's lower leg wrapped.

@HeatherMarieR update?

@Sally Sunshine I made a tiny air hole, saw veins, and waited. After a while, overnight+, it pipped, zipped, and hatched on its own. e

Air hole and chick zipping.

Hatched!

Oops I have been moving furniture and just realized I left my phone open to the thread. Bye bye data.

I also made an air whole in them because my family keeps opening the incubator and I think it's what's causing the air cells to collapse and suffocate the chicks and if that don't work then I geuss I am going to have to tap the whole incubator shut with duck tape
