Panic at the disco!

[Dr.GarryTTucker]

So I today was a good gumbo day so on my way home I told the wife to make some potato salad. Well about 7 minutes later I make it home and head to the back yard to see if chicks have hatched because we are like 1-4 days out. I go and there are no eggs under momma.
Oh no! Panic sets in!
I ask my wife where are the eggs. She says “cooking!! Why?” I say “because there are baby chicks in them!!!”
I reach in grab the eggs and pull them out. I quickly pat them dry. I put them back under momma.

Question.
Will the eggs survive? Water was only 96-105 but the bloom was washed off.

Will they survive and what do I do?!

Oh my...
lol...but not really.
I hope they're ok. 1-4 days from hatching?
You already did all you can do, I think.

I find that when my hens hatch out eggs it could be 21 or could be 25. I don’t know why that’s just what I see. So when I candles the egg 2 days ago you could see through it. And when I just candles you still couldn’t see through it. Like no veins or anything just an air pocket and darkness.

I know what you mean, it's almost impossible to see veins that close to hatching. I hope they survive, can you update in a few days?

I will update! Here’s to wishful thinking and prayers!

 

[Dr.GarryTTucker]

So it’s been long enough. And I will say the eggs didn’t make it. There will be more communication and I will also mark the eggs just In case someone wants more eggs to eat. Sad day.....
