Wow WV. I'm surprised too that that one died. I had one that was kinda like that on this last one. When I finally went to open it, it was alive. Maybe you will find the same? So pretty. I go Wednesday to get my lavenders. I hope they are as nice looking as yours.
OK Janoel folks, I'm putting this out there. I'm seeing my Janoel make huge corrections on me. Spiking the temp to 102. I have had really crappy hatch rates and I am beginning to loose hope in using this bator. ANyone else feeling this way?
I am currently running an experiment. I have a bunch of eggs in my styrofoam bator on the turner. Frankly it really fluctuates very little. It blips on and then off quickly. I am going to hatch out in this one and see what rates are better. I'm just getting sick of such bad hatches.
Update:
The second sick chick was really fading when I put him back in the incubator and brought the humidity up to 30%. His neck is stuck in a down position, so I was taking him out and dipping his beak every hour, raising his head to swallow. He perked up! I put him back in with the others. He can raise his head sometimes, but mostly he can't, often walks backwards and then does barrel rolls. Looks neurological. The chick boost SHOULD have righted any imbalance by now. I have chick boost and honey in the water which usually does the trick.
It's hard to say, but day 3 and I am still having to help it drink. I may take it out. I can't breed it and I am not able to continue this type of care.
