Are you a WALTON?

He had made zero progress when I got home.. So, I helped a little more.. I got his head out and by then, my hands were shaking so bad I was afraid I was going to do way more damage than necessary.. So I put him back for a little while.. I figure I got him this far, maybe he can use his legs to kick himself on out of the shell.. I think his big vaulted skull may have been a bit of a hindrance.. Here is my squatter....

Are they endangered? If they are I will do them, where do I get them at. My DD lives in Delaware does that help?

No really who should I get them from?

Yeah , this is a 1602n . I don't know how well it will stabilize yet , but do know its not thermal stacking like it was and the edges and corners are not running real cold . I really can't complain on the way it hatched chicks before , just had to learn to use egg cartons to keep the chicks from rolling eggs to the sides .

Since DH gave me the go ahead to hatch again, I'm going to find a larger box and add a fan. I've learned my lesson the hard way.

Thank you Mahonri for hosting this hatch. It's been so much fun reading everyone's posts. I appreciate all of the great advice, and it was fun "meeting" so many nice people who are passionate (read: crazy) about chickens.

I'm closing down my computer for the night, so will catch up on MsFuzzybutts late hatcher in the morning. Hope it turns out ok for you!!

I hope it works out better for you on the next go-round and that you're not too discouraged . The Wright brothers had a lot of crashes
back when everyone said it couldn't be done , and look at the aviation industry today .
