This my fourth hatch, all inside a year, but I’m still learning a lot. I’ve yet to develop the ability to track air cells like some people do, and I only just helped a chick hatch a couple of weeks ago. It was a really obvious case of the chick having made a big hole and effort to hatch without progress. That’s the only point I’m comfortable with so far.Yeah, the woman I got them from told me some of them should be lavender but we will see. I have one who I have no idea where the air sack is, I have pulled some of the shell off since they were not making much noise, now they are all chirpy pants. One is a dark olive and I can't see through it at all but I hear it inside making noise, not sure when I should intervene since it hasn't pipped yet at all.
she is off the eggs about 15 min but it is cold out.. most of my hens wait until the warmest part of the day not the coldest. I live in a hole so the sun hasn't hit the coop yet... She hatched at Easter and this is her first attempt.... we will see if anything hatches.
