Absolutely notta going on here. I need to forget the incubator is even in the room. Hubby says I should restrict myself to every hour.

after my last hatch where it looked like most were too big to turn around in their shells i had decided to help on day 21 and pop open the air cell end and check them... glad i did paige had pipped into her air cell, but i doubt she could have turned around to pip the shell....

betty did not make it... she quit before pipping her air cell.... i was actually looking forward to having her.... oh well... nature has it's own plan...

paige has kicked herself out of the rest of her shell and is sleeping..... hopefully she'll be up driving me nuts in a few hours...

Well all of the ones I put in lockdown that were viable have finally hatched. I had 6 that got shrinked wrapped that I had to help out. The last few are in the bator getting fluffy before I move them to the brooder. I am worried about a couple of them because they have protrusions on their belly where it looks like the absorb the yolk sak. Is there anything I can do. I want to help if I can. I can post pics if that will help.

I have to tell on myself. I didn't want to admit it to anyone but last week when I was candling I dropped an egg, #14. Dropped it, as in 2 feet down onto the glass topped desk. Most of the big end was smashed. I ran and melted candle wax and covered the cracks with a thick layer and put the egg back. Next day I checked it, movement! Next day, movement! From that point on, nothing. At lockdown I decided to use my fingernail to scape away the thick portion of wax so it would be able to pip, as if it were still alive! You guessed it, I crushed the whole top in! I cried and put it back in the incubator, crushed side down so I didn't have to look at it. Yesterday I took it out and candled it and there was nothing. It looked, felt, and sounded dead as a doornail. I contemplated tossing it but decided to leave it there as I reminder to myself to be more careful with these fragile little creatures.

I woke up this morning to this!

My Christmas Miracle! Never give up, I guess.

Now that is cute! As fragile as they are, just goes to show you they can be tough little guys, too. If they are going to hatch, they will hatch.

Ive got 3 EE's just hatched within the hour, and 3 more ameraucanas pipped. Christmas chickies!

so I dissapear upstairs for an hr and my little shrnk wrapped guy is kicking around his siblings egg like crazy, and two more have pipped! So that makes 5 pipped and one that's out so far from my 15 that weren't sue until late tonight or tmrw! Yay... I hope they get somewhere tho. The pip that pipped at 9pm last night still hasn't done a thing... and it's 15 hours later :-(
