Yeah, I also had 2 eggs that never pipped, and 1 that died after pipping, it had a little yellow foam around the edges, it had abrosbed it's yolk.

Did it hatch and then die or did you open the egg because it didn't hatch? I don't really want Mrs Delmar to have to find dead chicks, if I can avoid it.

It hatched, but It took a long time to hatch and I have to spritz it becuase the membrane started drying out.

Just set 35 B/B/S/L Bantam Ameraucana eggs.

I have 42 eggs in my 1588 and 14 in my wooden 'bator. I have more coming Tuesday and so on and so forth.

I was supposed to lock down late last night around 10 pm, but decided to put it off until this morning. I went to look at them around 7:30 and I have pip in one of my frizzled bantam Cochins! I quickly moved all of the EEs over to the LG forced air incubator and left the bantam Cochins and Ameraucanas in the Genesis after removing the turner. I want to keep the Ameraucanas & EEs separate as they probably will look pretty much the same. The EEs are Cuckoo Marans/Ameraucana x Ameraucana.

So instead of waiting for Monday for my first pip, I am on baby watch today ~ and I don't even have my brooders set up yet! barnie

2 of the 3 Dom eggs are pipped!!
Found one of my Anconas(Asst white eggers(all anconas) from Welp) dead is AM,

I noticed it had a bid scab on it's stomach and it would stand off to the side. I made sure it ate and drank, i thought it might die.

congrats on your pips

any of your chicks having foamy poo?

one of mine is, i added apple cider vinegar to their water
but it's still occurring

and apparently my girls (i hope) seem to be determined to fly
they're giving it a go anyway, they're one week old
