May hatch-a-long

[CSAchook]

So.... #7 hatched this morning or last night.

I water checked and candled #8 no movement. So i went ahead and started opening both. #8 was the possible internal pip with breathing last night. Inspection: it did internal pip but right at the edge of the aircell. Might not have had enough air, it's rather large in the egg and had very little aircell left. Looks absorbed from the top but i stopped there, does not appear too be breathing.

#9 looks like it might have been upside down but started to get its beak toward the aircell. No internal pip, looks only partly absorbed no breathing.

Final totals (of 17)
7 hatched 10 did not
3 infertile removed before lock down
1 blood ring removed before lockdown
1 smashed under developed DIS
3 underdeveloped left at lockdown all failed
1 internal pip DIS
1 fully developed no pip DIS.

I think that's pretty good for a first time. Minus the 3 infertile that's a 50% hatch rate. I might have been able to save #7 if I gave it an external pip last night but I can't blame myself I gave it a shot.

Time to clean the bator and get a true may hatch going?

Congrats on 7 new fluffy babies!

So i have 11 more sebright eggs. Half should be infertile given last hatch. So 5-6 possibly fertile I'm going to hope for at least half of those to be fertile knowing that one from the beginning of the week possibly was but yesterday both fresh where not. So im going to place all 11 and hope for at least 3 being fertile and viable. Still picking who else I want to try to hatch again

I love the name shelldon. I think I may have to steal that name.

Candled eggs that didn't hatch and saw that one has pipped into air cell and is breathing
