Well, I have an incubator with wobbling eggs, still some chirping and several have piped. but the truly sad thing that i had to deal with on this sleepless night, (promised my sister to video at least one egg hatching), is I heard this loud crack. I couldn't find anything in the Nurture Right to make me think it came from there and I started to think teh no sleep was making me hear things, then I decided to look into the other incubator.That's right, the hova-bator had an egg explode 2 days to lockdown.
Cleaned that all up, which meant taking apart the turner to get the egg rail out and decided to candle to make sure there were no more ticking time bombs. there is only 3 eggs left in there and only one of them I am confident will make it to lockdown.
So it looks like I could have just went with standard operating procedure and slept the night away and dealt with hatching in the daylight. it's just one egg was rocking so violently before i would l have headed to bed I thought it might actually hatch.
I can already tell these chicks will be stubborn and obstinate.
I didn't even know that cat was near by . Oh well this is the first time I had a cat go after a chicks like that. What I think happened is he ate the small slower one first and developed a taste for chicken. I still have five left and I'm not letting them out until they are at least 10 weeks. THe good news is when the chicks tried escaping the cat attack they flew up on a beam that is at lest higher than eleven ft. That's pretty amazing for 5 week old chicks. There was no other way those chicks could have possible got up that high unless they flew. This whole thing makes me wish they had a mother hen.
