I have never had a hatch like this , It is day 23, day 22 yielded 2 chicks, one in am, one in early pm. While I slept last night and definitely not expecting more to hatch, another one hatched making three. I was outside moving my first chicks that are 5 weeks old into a pen that has an outside run this morning, another egg has pipped. What in heck? What caused this crazy hatching behavior? Can anyone venture a guess. Some facts I do know. The eggs were chilled in Shipment. They were Shipped eggs. My hatcher was a degree off. Anymore ventured theories that could have added to this quandary? Should I help this last egg out and finish this hatch?
That's crazy! Must of taken an extra day to "warm up!" I wouldn't help the last one - let it do it on it's own, but I would be thrilled to have anything hatch after what they have been through! Makes me think I should let me incubator go a little longer after everyone hatches to see if there are any stragglers! It is always so hard to know when to "pull the plug"! Congrats on your new fuzzy butts!!
