Thanks for the encouragement. I hope these little ones make it too. The eggs actually came from a local farm auction. The breeders were moving to younger breeding stock. So, they brought all their eggs and current breeders. So, I actually got to see the birds that the eggs came from first hand. They looked good and the eggs were good looking too. I think the problem was that some of the eggs were older. I don't remember exactly, but these two might have come from older eggs.

The crooked neck chick just passed.

The flipping chick is still hanging on. It is pretty active, just keeps getting stuck on its back.

I'm sorry!! The other one must be kinda funny to watch though

The last 4 in the incubator better get busy or they'll miss the deadline!

My hatching is almost over. I ended up with broody momma #1 5 silkies
Momma # 2- 4 silkies
Momma # 3- still sitting but had one hatch last night and has a pip!
Incubator was all shipped eggs except for silkies- set 8 german bielefelder- 6 made it to lockdown 3 hatched two boys and a girl- 2 dead in shell malpositioned-1 late quitter
silkies 6 set 5 hatched one internally pipped then died because all the other chiks in the incubator flipped it over and smothered it
Barred rock 12 to lockdown 10 hatched-two dead in shell malpositioned
Lav orphingtons- 5 to lockdown- 4 hatched one dead in shell malpositioned
All the shipped eggs had Huge malpositioned air cells, I know my humidity was correct because my silkie eggs had perfect air cells and weight loss. It really is a miracle any of them hatched. I had 3-4 pip at the wrong end and make it out.

Went to get chick food and bought 2 speckled sussex and buff brahma chick at feed store......My husband says I am insane
