Internal pip?

[Aphrael]

Nothing. We decided it was not going to happen. We think we were about on day 23 at this point, We are going to try again though.
We had 2 out of 4 that we thought would hatch and no I did not order them. When my fiance's grandfather passed away we took the egg's from some of his chickens(buff orpingtons)so that we could have some chick's from him to remember him with(also my mother loves chickens). Now that we watched them develop and saw their heartbeats we just really want some baby chicks though. I did not get any and decided to do an eggtopsy before I got rid of them. I could not tell what happened though. It looked like their yolk sac got busted open or something, like maybe one of the babies accidentally hit the bator while playing in the house,

but I honestly dont know what would have caused it.

I am going to use this as a learning experience though and hopefully get it right next time

Aww. I am so sorry.

I'm sure next time will go better.

Bummer!

I hope your next hatch works out ok. Buff orps are so pretty too! Best of luck with the next hatch!

Out of 9 we ended up with 3. There's a possibility that someone else may hatch but who knows. One zipped and then stopped more than 12 hours ago. Fredo's got a bum foot, can't walk, tips over. IDK how Fredo's going to do longer term. We got 1 Sizzle and 1 Silkie both grey in color that seem to be really healthy. Never say never, it seems like it can take many eggs to get a few to hatch!

Well I am glad you got some. Hope his little bum leg gets better.

Don't throw the eggs out until you are completely sure! I had 6 eggs and all 6 hatched. 2 of them I almost tossed bc of no movement. They surprised me!

I was positive at this point....

[oinkpiggieoink]
