Lemon-Drops Adopt-an-egg hatch-a-long!

[Weeg]

Toast didn’t make it.

I went to apply more oil, but didn’t see any movement. I moved the egg a little, but still nothing. I very carefully pulled back some membrane, but she was gone.

I took her out of the egg, just to make sure, but she was unfortunately gone.

I don’t know why the last 2 just didn’t hatch. Maybe it was temperature fluctuations, humidity, or perhaps there was something just ‘wrong’ with them. Maybe it was the other chicks bumping into them. I don’t know.

Rest In Peace, Toast. Fly high.

I'm so sorry Lemon, this was not on purpose.
You were just trying to help, I hope you don't beat yourself up for it. Sending big hugs. RIP Toast.

Thanks so much for your understanding.

I can’t remember which photos I’ve posted, but here are some pictures of the chicks.

Thanks so much for your understanding.

Of course. We all make mistakes, sometimes we learn the hard way. I know I have to many times.
Congrats to everyone else’s babies! I’ll be following to soak up chick cuteness.

Unfortunately, egg 7 was deceased. I candled and saw no movement, so tried a safety hole. I chipped back a little, and she was already gone. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...hick-warning-deceased-chick-pictures.1520918/

Just Toast left to hatch.

Don't beat yourself up about it. It wasn't your fault. I'm really sorry.

Thank you.

You did a good job. Is that one of the chicks in the easter basket? It's so cute.
