It was the Brown one that was making a loud ruckus was even chirping in his sleep! I held him for a bit, and when I put him back I noticed that his beak was wet looking even though I didn't see him drink.
I found him dead about an hour later. I guess something was wrong is why he wouldn't shut up.
Something is wrong with these EE eggs. Maybe they were just too old
It's raining and 100% chance of more rain tomorrow, plus the bottom fell out of the temperature too. No burial tonight or tomorrow, so I just put him in the trash with the egg that I opened
Darnit little brownie was so cute I thought we might keep that one.
The Cuckoo Marans egg has been zipping for the last 30 minutes or so, hope she makes it!
ETA: I stayed up so she wouldn't have to stay in the icky bator when she hatched, but I think she died. She worked at zipping for almost an hour, and seemed to be making it. Suddenly I can't even see her breathing anymore!
It's been a BAD night. Not sure if she dried out too much, or what. I don't think I'm gonna do "staggered" hatches though. Gah, almost 4am and I'm going to bed all sad. I think disappointed might be a better word -- this hatch went SO well and it's just come to a screechin halt tonight.
Good thing I'm off work tomorrow coz I'm barely gonna get a wink of sleep!
