The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[chickenpooplady]

Still absolutely NOTHING here.

So depressed. I wish I knew what went wrong! I know they were alive at lockdown! I saw several of them moving, they looked pretty good on development!

Planning on candling and listening to all the eggs tonight as soon as it gets dark enough to candle. Then will decide if we can assist any live ones.

If it makes you feel any better the same thing is happening with me.

I was about to candle and I saw one of them wiggle. It wiggled twice and them stopped. It still has not pip yet though. It is only day 22 and they can hatch anywhere from day 21 to day 25 right? I am just hoping for the best for both of us.

Crossing fingers for both of you.

I am still hatching....3 more with pips...all set on the 9th just after noon. I have about 12 that are doing nothing but I am going to leave them. Hang in there.

i am still at one chick- one egg is peeping and has pipped though so i am hopeful for a second chick... really hopeful because the first chick is a crybaby by itself!

Four pipped out of 15, four hatches out of the pipped eggs. Other than that, NOTHING. But those four were a day early. Gonna give the rest of the eggs a chance for a few days.

My latest duck to pip pipped at the small end! Do I help him out? He seems to be breathing just fine but it doesn't look like he has any room to move or that he will be able to zip. This is my first incubation, what do I do with the duckling that pipped on the wrong end?
