But i have them in an egg carton it will be very hard for him to flip over i am freaking out that the blood will go to his head this is nerve racking but he is a fighter for sure poor little chicky!

i had to flip him and i am glad i did he has what looks like a knot on his head i opened a corner grabed the shell flipped him added warm water and closed again temp and hum is great and only dropped a degree on hum only temp remained at 100 i am just glad none of the others had pipped yet so i was able to do it quickly so i think all will be ok.

I made little shoes from electrical tape for her, with luck her little feeties will be straight in a day or two. She is taking it well, rockin' her duck feet

Going into lockdown tonight. Should I toss the ones that look empty? They are BCM's and difficult to see, but the two that are porous look like they stopped developing over a week ago. Will it hurt to leave them all be?

If you can't tell for sure I would leave them unless they stink.

They all still smell sweet as can be!

I've gone into lockdown and left one clear egg in there.... It doesn't smell or anything but I made sure I tucked it away so hopefully any chicks that hatch don't roll it around!

My humidity is increasing.... I'm getting nervous. I wish we could sit the eggs on top of permanent candlers in the base of the incubator so I could see what the heck is going on inside them!!! ARGH! If this hatch fails like my last one....
I WANT CHICKIESSSSS TOO! I love the pictures guys

Keep sharing!

I think I locked down about half a day early too....
