Well looks like it's me and Brunswick... I feel so bad I know i heard pecking, but today is day 24. Any ideas of what to do. How mny extra days do I give them?

I hope I do better next time!

If you here pecking you need to pip those eggs yourself and give them air before they run out if it's not already too late!! Once you pip them (at their beak area) put them back in the bator and let them try to zip on their own for at least 12 hours before you do anything else...

Ok...Only 1 of 8 had an embryo. It was not moving.... So looks like I got a single! Brunswick My first born chick. Now will she be ok alone? I must have been hearing the foam contracting with temp, rather than peckin. It will be asleep soon! Been peeping like crazy. Think we might b lonely.

Howdy neighbor! You need get that little guy a buddy! I've got seven 2 1/2 week old chicks in the brooder, almost too old to mix, but I've got one little bitty chick in the bunch that I'd be willing to part with if you'd be interested. S/he's a olive egger mix. Let me know!

Great! I've had the exact same thing happen to me (solo chick hatch) and trust me, your little guy will be so much happier (and quieter!) with a friend. I'll PM you.

Going to be a long day and night I think but well worth it.
