Any more chicks?

I tossed another of the eggs in the incubator. Quit after candling. Perfect air cell, clearly developed eye, never got to the feathers stage. That leaves two.

One had pipped - sideways. I helped a bit and upped the humidity level, but I have low hopes - no movement that I saw/noises that I heard. The final one hasn't done a thing.

 

[Sally PB]

Sorry to hear that.

How are the 5 doing?

Seem to be doing great, last I checked (about an hour ago) Had to adjust the heat lamp a little, floor of the brooder box was sitting at 98-ish, now 94-ish

Is it sad that when I look at this, my first thought is "no sign of pasty butt" and my second thought is "those are healthy looking poops"?

Nor really

Nope, not at all! I told two of my littles, "Good job, little girl! That's an awesome poop!"

 

[Sally PB]

Chicks still doing well? Any more hatch?

 

[U_Stormcrow]

Yes they are, neither of the two remaining have hatched. Glad I'm not selling hatching eggs right now, I'd have a lot of upset customers.

I'll give up on the last two tommorow, though I've already mentally accepted they are 0s.

NOT good eats.
