Mahonri's 2nd Annual NYDHatch, watching them grow...

[featherz]

Group shot!

I don't know what that cream colored chick is. I am thinking it's one of the 'colored egg' mutts.

Agreed.....give it more time my friend! Patience!

Thanks. I just logged on to say it pipped! I'm sitting next to it concocting my Craigslist ad for the chicks when I heard it break through. Nothing since then. Hopefully this one I don't have to extract from its shell like the last 4 to hatch. I think my humidity problems have been fixed though.

Where do you guys get rid of all these chicks at?

we aren't supposed to keep them?

I keep everything til it is a few months old then decide....

Find someone local to trade with, post on craigslist, we used to have a radio station that did a 'swap and shop' program 5 days a week - call in and offer them for sale with a price, chicken swaps....lots of ways

Been reading to get caught up.. and was just about to post that I still had no more pips.. But before doing so, I got up and looked one more time. Sometime between checking for pips and seeing none and getting caught up on this thread.............................................. I have a pip!!!!!!!!!!!

Wheew, I was so afraid I was going to have a lonely hatchling.. But I still don't get it. I set them all on December 11th at noon with everyone else. Temps and humidity have been spot on. This has got to be my 20th hatch atleast and never a problem like this... It just confuses me to no end!
Set 8
5 made it to lockdown
1 hatched Dec.31st
Currently 1 pip at 10:15 am on Jan 2nd..

????????????

My girls have come off strike and I have almost 2 dozen eggs waiting to go in... But this is making me second guess myself!!

Okay, guys, the perfect little brown egg chick is still bouncing about inside its egg. Do I leave it? Do I help it out (not that I have ANY idea how to do that)?

on the pip!

Anytime something off or strange happens, I don't dwell on it. Just keep hatching. If it becomes an issue and happens several hatches in a row then I would worry about it.​

Let it bounce for now

Just keep bator closed - moving that much it should start pipping soon.

Mahonri- one of your BLRW eggs is pipped!! Or more accurately, it blew the side of the egg off in one big crack! At least I think it is a BLRW. It is the fourth egg in the lockdown picture. Not one of mine. SO: perhaps your eggs are late bloomers? Someone here mentioned the older the egg, the longer it takes them to catch up?

ON ANOTHER NOTE: I with I remembered to take a lockdown pic EVERY time, because then I remember who hatched and who didn't.
