day 18 on my 2 eggs, the big egg will probably hatch a day late, the small one looks like a day 20 hatcher, we will see.

fixed a splayed legg on a chick, caused by low heat during hatching, cut bandaid in 1/2 sticky ends around legs they will not like it,

Oh man, one of my chicks isn't doing well. Wry neck. Laying on side. Giving it electrolytes, very small amount, and also poly v. Poly V has worked miracles for wry neck on past chicks. If this little one doesn't make it, it will be alone...sort of. I have a separation between the last ones that hatched ad these 2. They can see each other.

they look a little cold to me, no offence, can we get the lamp closer? sick chicks need more heat too.

In a separate incubator I am going to try store eggs

Just because... Wild harvest brand, will let you know if they are fertile, air cells look good and looks like their is goodness going on.

Baby is warm. 100 W. Bulb is what I usually. Red heat lamp.. too much in a warm home. And I have it on the same area away from them that I have for years. No offense taken. Hard to tell by photos what's going on. Anyway, check out my baby. Yep, gotta love that Poly V.! Sitting up and pecking at the other baby .. no wry neck now. I honestly wasn't sure if he was going to make it this morning. It's the white one. The other one gets around pretty quick.

They must huddle out of being lonely. Sorry he is not doing well...
