I have, quite some time ago, I am pretty concerned though, just got home from work and he's no further along. The membrane has dried out during the day despite the ointment. When I took him out of the incubator he peeped like mad... Not sure if it's a good sign or a bad one
I wish I could, but even better I can post a picture of my newly hatched chick! He finally made it out! I think maybe the hard chill after being kicked out of the nest for so long in such cold weather slowed his process down a little? But he is up and ready to go as soon as he got all the way out he was very active and fluffed up really quickly in the lower humidity incubator! After he had some time in there and I was sure he was totally dry I took him outside put his mum on the nest and stuck him under her. She settled right down on top of him to keep him warm. Hopefully she's a good mommy to him because it's too cold out for her to not be.

Yay! So glad he made it! He is so cute too
yep! Waiting to give him a name until I know he will make it through the winter, but my daughter has told me that it's my job to name this one, so we'll have to come up with something good!
