May 2021 Hatch - A - Long

[BullChick]

Who knows, maybe it’s just a temporary thing that will straighten out in a few hours. I assume you haven’t actually taken it out yet to inspect.

No, there are pipped eggs so I'm going to wait for now

Took it out when I saw no more pips. Both legs have issues. The legs are stiff and sadly I don't think can be corrected.

6 other healthy chicks have hatched and 1 more pipped after I put this guy back

1 Ancona duck egg has externally pipped ....at the wrong end

Never had ducks pip at the wrong end. How well do they do? Keep close eye & possibly assist after 24 hours?

I read the assisted hatching article that has malpositions listed. I guess I’ll follow that.

Make that 2 externally pipped eggs at the small end

How are they doing?

One of the pullets I got from the feed store is a cockerel. I’m not surprised, I know that nothing is 100%. I’m just glad that I know how to deal with it.

How are they doing?

I helped the 1st one externally pip a little more to make sure it was getting air as it wasn’t quite through the shell membrane. I candled it & the air cell is all on 1 side of egg vertically. It was dipped a little lower when I put it into lockdown but not all 1 side.

The other was able to pip through shell membrane. Still waiting.

I have 3 more externally pipped at the proper end.

They aren’t technically due until tomorrow so I’m sure they are still absorbing yolk.

Some of the button quail in a cookie tin on their way to the brooder tank.
