Awe goodness! Hoping this lil one pulls through!Final numbers for 25 shipped eggs.
Hatched:
7 Legbars
2 Olive eggers
3 Silverudd’s
1 Welsummer
Total of 13 chicks!
Overall a nice hatch that I’m pleased with. I’m bummed about the Welsummers. 5 made it to lockdown. Eggtopsy revealed they just didn’t loose enough moisture. I wish now I’d have run dry a few more days but there’s always something to learn.
I have one Silverudd’s still in the incubator. It hatched by itself early on day 21 without fully absorbing its yolk. By the time I put it in a cup 30 minutes had elapsed and there was a significant amount of blood around the incubator. It’s a strong chick but I’m unclear if it is yolk or an intestinal loop that’s still outside the body. I’m dipping it’s beak a couple of times a day in an electrolyte mixture (Sav-A-Chick and Nutridrench for Poultry). I should know more in a couple of days if it’ll make it. If it starts to looks worse each day, rather that better, I’ll have to cull. You can tell from the pictures it’s very unimpressed with being left behind in the incubator.

Hopefully these remaining 5 make it. It is DAY 20 so they still have time. Plan to take the ready chicks out and place in the brooder in the morning.
