Well it looks like three chicks it will be. One was shrink wrapped and all dried out. The other was severely dried out squished into the lower half of the egg it was so dry, had pipped, was stuck and still alive. I moistened it, helped it out but it died about half an hour later. So sad to see tiny perfectly formed chicks get stuck and all dried out in their own eggs. I'm too new at this to have experience with shrink wrapped chicks. stinkin hot weather is hard on these tiny eggs. Horrible timing to have 100 degree days. I'll post pics when the other two finish drying out and fluff up.
In the future is it better to let the incubator finish the eggs on hot days like these where extra humidity can be more easily added? I have half a dozen eggs under my second recently broody serama. And around 18-20 eggs in the incubator, about half serama, 2-3 standards, and the rest bantam cochins. Maybe when they are hatching in the next 1.5-2.5 weeks it will be a little cooler.
