So I locked down...went form 26 to 8, and of those 8 I only see good movement in 1

I do see some with what looks like the membranes? have come off the side of the egg? will they hatch or is that a quitter?
Im so bummed...Thank goodness my kids will be with the donor this weekend...Id hate for them to see chicks that didnt make it. Seems we have had a hard time with chicks lately.
First a raccoon killed off half our babies
then we had a a handful of new chicks just fail
had one of our big girls just go down and we dont know why
and now a huge loss in the hatching...not sure ill do this again.
