This is my families newest arrival. Born at 5:40am, on the 23rd day. 2 days later than the other 6 I had incubated with it. I had candled it prior, and was the only one I had confidence in, as it was a mint green egg, and all the others were between dark olive and Maran, too dark to candle.
It is bare skinned in places on back, and still has brownish crust on center of back (not the woodchip on butt). I believe that because it was in the only row of 3 in my Magicfly 12 incubator, it didn't see the same temp and or revolutions as the other 6. States holds 9 chicken eggs, should only do 6. The other 6 hatched healthy, with 3 on day 20 and 3 on day 21.
I put it in a brooder all to itself, so it doesn't get steamrolled and pecked at. Is there anything I can do for it to help it along, other than fresh electrolyte and organic apple cider vinegar water and organic gmo/soy free starter feed? It's still day 1, but has in the past our been quite mobile and eating and drinking.
