June Hatch a Long

[Wrightsx4]

Lol - thought you meant you'd take pics later of the smelly egg!

If

if you look closely try to see if the membrane is stuck to the chick or if the chick can move away from it at times.

It looks stuck and like the membrane is shrinking. I'm scared to open the bator because I have another pip I don't want to risk drying out by opening. It too is stuck about where it was 9 hrs ago, but I can see it's beak is clear of it's body and membrane.

Edited to say I was able to moisten the membrane with warm water through the vent hole. I removed the membrane from its beak area and waited. It has since flopped out of the carton and is passed out. Poor thing must be exhausted!

Good luck for this evening. if you can tear yourself away from the incubator, please keep us updated on progress.

Actually, I don't have to worry about it this round. - I am am out of state right now. I just worry from a distance. My husband is hatching them where he works. He has them on display so customers can see when they come in to the office. Several are bringing their kids back tomorrow (office is closed today) to see what hatches. For their and our sake I hope we have some new babies. The last hatch happened while at work. Instead of running home, we went to an auction and did not return until around 10PM and found 7 wet baby Rhodebar chicks drying off. Kept them in overnight and found a new hatchling (#8) in the AM still needing to dry out. My husband is really good at not standing over the incubator...I am the one with that issue. I think by not keeping watch all of the time, you get to anxious about assisting a hatchling if it seems it is taking too long. We did not have any pips that did not hatch. Either they did or they did not. Just going to wait until I hear something

I will be at work when, hopefully, the action starts but I will be watching the clock for home time the whole day, I just know I will. I am really hoping that I get to see at least 1 coming out of the shell. Maybe I should put in for some leave to watch the incubator all day, mmm will have to do some serious thinking on that!

I hope you get to go home to lots of cutie pies to cuddle. Keep us posted

good job! That's great news!

Should have been more worried about the pipped chick (green egg) instead of the zipped chick (brown egg previous post). Just checked and it has stopped breathing - foamy around the beak and nostrils, so it drowned? The pip has been open with no excess fluid for hours - where did all this goo suddenly come from?

Oh no, so sorry.

How is the other one doing?

 

[Wrightsx4]

Aww- sorry. Sometimes things just happen - they have a big job to do and sometimes it goes wrong. It may have been a problem inside the egg too, and happened regardless - like tearing the yolk sac before it's been absorbed. Sorry though. I hope the other one is doing well.

Oh no, so sorry.   How is the other one doing?

Other two in bator are good and I just looked and two out of four under the broody are out. She's doing better than me so far and this is her first hatch!
