March hatch along

[GR Chicks]

is this one doing any better?

No real change, it still can't support itself well enough to stand or walk. I hate when I don't know what to do

Morning all. Still no news here. Ughhhh!!! :gah

QUESTION: Does the climbing and moving on the eggs by the chicks that have hatched first make it harder for the others to hatch?

Some people say yes and some say no. I worry about it but still hatch with my eggs on their side. I think it is less of a problem if the incubator is full... Less space between eggs . I have had eggs knocked all over the place with small batches.

I really hope I didn't mess this up. I have always used a Brinsea incubator that held 7 eggs, and now have a larger one. I haven't had any movement or pips since the first 3 hatched yesterday. I removed the chicks to the brooder this morning, but I hope it wasn't too late. Today is day 21.

maybe you can make some booties and maybe a box frame...I saw it on BYC last night. Lemme see if I can find the link...it was for stargazing, but maybe you can do something similar here.

I've had the 3 pips all day. I've gone in and checked every few minutes, now all of a sudden there are 7.
