My chickies ,three hatched so far the poor yellow one has crooked toes so they are done up ,

Awwwwww CUTE!!!! congrats!!!

My egg that pipped in the wrong spot now has another pip in the right spot?!?!?

PICTURES?

10 Ancona eggs are in Lock-down!!!

It is day 25. I candled them and have 8 that look great and 2 that I am hoping for the best. The saddle air cells are GONE, even though some air cells are very deep none are saddled! Of the 10 eggs I noted with detached air cells after shipping only 2 of them made it to lock-down, and those 2 are questionable; that is something for me to review after the hatching and egtopsies.

GOOD LUCK!! looks like draw down is happen/ed/ing!!

Thought I posted this here this morning, but maybe it was somewhere else- not responsible for anything that happens before the first cup of coffee (=
This is Sabrina, hatched yesterday from the only surviving Sebastapol egg. Luckily, I have a great friend and coworker who will also supply us with a mate for her.

ach du gut!!!! Hello Sabrina!

My Ayam Cemani egg is pipped and a couple of Silkie eggs are pipped!!

SWEET!!!!

Got 11 Cream Legbars and 11 Birchen Marans this go round, out of 35 eggs, 14 were Legbars and 21 were Marans. It's hard to candle those dark eggs! I think some are dis, but haven't checked. All 3 of the unhatched Legbar eggs were quitters.

CONGRATS!!!!! lil chipmunks!!

I love my emus, they are getting big!

Well today is day 26 for my ducky eggs. One that had internally pipped yesterday, I woke up this morning and it looked discolored on the outside so I candled it. There was discoloration and no movement. Opened it up slowly and the poor thing was shrink wrapped

I immediately wet two sponges and put them in the incubator. Left for the day and came back and there was condensation on the window. I took out one of the wet rags I had in there. The whole time my humidity was fluctuating. So clearly that is not reliable.
Is there anything you all would recommend to make sure I don't shrinkwrap the others or drown them?
Gosh you can really tell I'm a rookie at this

I feel so terrible and don't want to lose anymore, be easy on me.
Also should they all be internally pipped by now?

Two chicks out of their eggs... One has zipped the shell but not the membrane? And the other 3 are pipped and rocking. The one with two pips (one on each end) hasn't zipped yet.

The first one hatched out 5 minutes before school dismissed! So the kids got to see one hatch!
