that was my plan. I was moistening the membrane with warm water. The heat lamp was to mitigate the ac temps. I tried to stay outside but it got dark and Mosquitos were swarming...so on the fly this was my improv. The chick got a foot out and pushed the bottom of the shell down...so it's loose now. Seems to be resting a lot. I just didn't want to disturb it any more than I had to hatching. It just streached again...and in peeking down with a limited view I'm fearing the yoke sack is not fully absorbed. I however am not sure what I should be seeing :/. Still think I should stick it back under broody?
Hi everyone! Hope you don't mind if I post up on this thread. I have a broody Bantam Cochin that I have decided to let hatch some eggs. I do not have a rooster and ordered some eggs...also Bantam cochin..that should arrive Thursday. This is the first time I have tried to hatch with a broody AND this will be her first time hatching as wellA little nervous, so any advice or insight from more experienced people before we begin would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
YAY..okay that gives me some confidence for our first try!! Good luck with those babies!I have the exact same situation as you! Except I candled and have some internal pips tonight!
Good luck on your hatch!
