Okiechick57's Incubator Adventure

[PurpleChicken]

I just did some math. You put them in on the 8th. That makes today day 22 to 23,
depending on what time on the 8th you put them in.


If at some point you decide to help the little guy out just remove the top
of the shell and let him try to crawl out. When you do this pull out two of
the nonpipped eggs and, very gently, crack open the top enough to look
inside. My suspicion is one or two may be alive but too weak or dried out
to pip.

THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DO BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S RIGHT.

If you see movement in the egg than we can procede. You may just find
a dead chick in there but at least you will know.

I'm hoping you end up with at least two chicks. If not you're gonna be a
new mom again.
