Setting eggs June 3rd. Need hatching buddies! Lets have some fun!

I keep staring at my eggs, waiting for one to move or do something lol

aww thanks!! haha, it's my first hatch. the mother is a red sex link, and the father is a barred rock.

If the temp has been a little low will it just take the others longer to hatch? Or is there anything to do about it now???? This makes me nuts!!!!

I've read if the temp is low, they hatch late. If its high, they hatch early. Anything happening???

I lost my little black chick, it never hatched, so I broke open the egg and inside was a gorgeous little black silkie. So sad, something must have happened after the 18th day...because it was moving and then....nothing. Darn.

It is great to see the beautiful babies.

I'm sorry some of you have lost some.

Baconskatiedid I've never had a protrusion before but like you I have one this hatch. I've read that it either shrinks on its own or becomes a cull as very few people have ever had luck pushing it in. Have you read up on it? Mine I'm worried about he's had a very rough hatch and now the protrusion seems to be getting slightly bigger

Caylee why exactly do you think they are shrink wrapped? Have you read the forums on such. Yes opening the bator is the cause of shrink wrap as it introduces a large whish of dry, cool air. But everytime you open the bator doesn't mean that they get shrink wrapped. Tell me the symptoms you are seeing concisely in one post if you don't mind.

I myself am cursing Debby. Starting a whole new thread for that if anyone is interested. Have about 12 hatched. Not sure if the others will or won't cause of Debby.

What are you talking about?

 

[Stephanie739]

oh Debby! I have been watching my chicks, not the news! I'm sorry!

Finished my thread it is some tail but since it is long and will probably generate response from others dealing with Debby thought it might be better by itself.

Okay I thought cause i opened the bator they got shrink wrapped and they barely moved. They were making no progress. I guess they were just resting as they are starting to zip. One (Which is the one I thought was shrink wrapped) is zipping very slowly. A different one is moving much faster. I think they are okay now.
