Omg Finally!! Not out of the woods yet, but this has been killin' me. These guys need that peeping motivation.

Good luck!!

It's been so long since I've seen BBS lol, I believe I have a beautiful new blue 2nd gen. Chick. So now I'm praying the rest hatch. It seemed slow going and the weather has this old house sooo dry, so I cut up sponges and put a few cubes in a water glass bowl underneath the heater. I think that will help with better humidity. Dang LG's. I have learned much more by having a frustrating hands on incubator than if it were easy. I upped the temp a touch too as per the post with the 24 day chick.

What a wonderful feeling! Congratulations! For some reason Isbars seem to need a lot of TLC right after hatch too. Vitamins are important, esp. in the beginning. KYT taught me that!

Hopefully still okay as per the norm. He/she will need to live in there for a day or two, but I always provide vitamins. Everyone here gets them year round in their water. I have quik chic on hand always.

Update: 1 black chick was shrink wrapped. The rest were mid-late quitters. The black blood was my limit and I chose not to investigate further as to how late, but the "chick" did not fill the sack. I have 1 maybe left. With that being said, there is someone here in Michigan that I was directed to, I'll speak with her in the spring. Maybe she'll sell me a straight run of chicks or else I'll find someone else within the fold that does. I feel absolutely no confidence in going the hatching egg route at this point.

did that one that did hatch survive?
