Here is a picture of chicks one and two. Perhaps my wife will keep sending me pictures as they hatch.

We just had a Porcelain D'uccle hatch! This is getting exciting.

The hatch is going very good. So far 12 of 25 are out of their shells. One isn't right, but I'm going to wait until the hatch is over to see if you guys can diagnose the issue. She can't seem to use her legs and just flips over backwards. She's one of the more beautiful chicks, so I would hate to see something go wrong. One of the eggs to hatch was an Old English Game Bantam with a floating cell. It may be the only floating cell egg to hatch today. My serama chick is one of two that hasn't pipped yet. The incubator is getting crowded with shells and chicks. It's a much tighter fit than I expected! My humidity has risen to about 80%, so I may consider a quick cleanup in the morning depending on hatch count and humidity.

I've had chicks that " flip" over or cant seem to maintain balance. I find that putting them in a little bowl or cup so they can't flip helps. Plus i give them nutri drench drops. Usually after a day or so they seem to find thier balance. However..u should isolate it because it can get "piled" on by the other babies
