Wow, only 7 months later, I can be really slow at the updates huh. Only 2 hatched from the original 12. They were shipped and probably older than desired for optimal hatch. One pipped and after noticing his beak had not moved in several hours, I realized he wasn't just resting. Research I did stated that chicks dying while hatching were most likely older. Just had my second hatch, 41 to start, 25 were growing appropriately at lockdown and 18 hatched. 2 died when I thought they were home free, in the egg which was well chiseled, but they just didn't make it out. I regret not helping now, but I'm very hesitant to interfere, fearing I'm hurting rather than helping.
