I set 10, 8 hatched yesterday, one is rocking. Hopefully that one is going to come out today. I see no movement whatsoever on the #10 egg. I think that one is a goner.

My pip from 10:15 this morning has made a little bit more progress, though not alot. So I quickly candled and it has pip'd the aircell. I guess that's a good sign? It's still wiggling in there.

Broke down and did the no-no. The one that had been stuck at 3/4 zipped was shrink wrapped. I have gotten it out of the shell, cleaned it up as best I could before it could get too cold and stuck it back in the bator. No bleeding, looks like the yolk is fully absorbed and I think it pooped while I was cleaning it off. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. If I hadn't helped it, it wouldn't have made it. It was realy stuck. I will just wait and see.

What is this thing you call getting rid of chicks? Never heard of it!

Huh? One gets rid of chicks? No, really? How odd. That happens?

Pssssst. Dsqard, I think we need to investigate why poor superchemicalgirl has developed such an odd belief.

Funny you guys!

The good news is I posted I had 14 chicks for sale and another BYCer is going to pick them up next weekend! And the last BLRW hatched... hopefully she won't notice beginner chicken math where 14 = 15. Also forgot my broody is on 4 eggs due next Saturday...

Sigh.
