I know I'm obnoxious. I try to read the crowd and see who is playing along and who isn't

Say! That deWalt stuff is GREAT! It may have cost 500$ but to take any broken piece to home depote Any day for a brand new part? Priceless

I bargain shopped for mine... 18v cordless used set bought in parcels... the whole is now worth more than they cost...

Bad news on my hatch and it's all my fault unfortunately. I thought SC and I had set about the same time so I figured my hatch was way overdue. SC's are already out and signed up for preschool. Without counting the days (or hours) I just figured it was over and went to eggtopsy to see what was wrong with the chicks, find out what stage they passed at, and find out what color would result from a Marans over my RSL.

I cracked the big air cell end open a little on each one. I check the one I thought died a week ago. Sure enough it stunk like crazy.

I open the next one. Peel back the membrane a bit. Chick is breathing!

Look at the other one. Chick is breathing.

Now I stop to think about the real date I set and how many days it's been. I'm at the end of day 21. Idiot! I should have given them a few more days. Now I'm fullon red team on these suckers. Not because I'm a meddler, but because I caused the problem for them. Every time I tried to peel back a little membrane I got red blood. Not gushing or flowing, but definitely red blood.

Leave them? I can't. Now they are drying out. I wrapped them in wet paper towel this morning. They were both peeping. I'm pretty sure they were saying something like "you murdered us!". One even pipped the shell last night below the point that I broke the big end off. I will have to check after work and hope for the best.

I leave them in and they probably die shrink wrapped from me opening the shell. I try to help them out and they bleed to death.

What can I do for them?

Silver lining. I went into lockdown with two viable eggs and they were probably both going to hatch just fine so my incubator is still working well.

Oh man, I hate that. I will go red for a chick that is my fault. Maybe the girls can talk you through it

Rub vaseline or antibiotic ointment over the membrane... it'll keep it moist and avoid shrink wrapping or sticking to chick...

exactly what I was thinking. Car repair?

Either that, or he just wanted some ice cream.

Ouch!

This is what I was going to say. Bacitracin or antibiotic on the membrane and wait and see.

Touche!!! Great comeback.
