March hatch along

[carcar80]

Here is the one I'm most concerned about. Hadn't made much progress but it does appear it's managed to make a needle-size hole in the membrane and I do see breathing.

And the far one here is the second wrong end pip I noticed. It's actually making fair progress on its own and has broken completely through the membrane. Nearer you can see the progress of the original correct pip.

LOL I think this is what they call chicken math.

I have

11- Black/lavender Split 7 weeks old
1- 3 week old BYM (special needs)
45- 1 week old BYM
23- hatching as we speak pure bred polish cochins and EEs
30-quail eggs due to hatch mid next week
140 + or- BYM, Rodebars, and marans due next weekend
7 muscovy eggs due on 4-12
12 LF Moudlan and a turken (sp) due on the 9th
and to complicate it further I just set 300+ eggs for easter pretty sure I have lost my mind.

Hmmm....i'm pretty sure you have!!!! Lol. Are you planning on selling most of these or are you going to grow them out?

Wrong way pipper #1 is almost out!!!!! He is putting up a huge fuss and knocking off a BIG chip of shell with each push!!

Which is exciting his neighbor, correct pipper.

No more progress with wrong-way pipper in the first pic above.

AND......


ANOTHER PIP!!

why do you supposed you keep getting malpositioned chicks? I was so scared of this happening, I removed the eggs from the Turner on day 16.

 

[carcar80]

Sometimes I wonder if it's because many of the eggs are rather round? Can that be?

I always have to candle to see which end is up..
