I may have the answer to this by the time I finally catch up, but I find eggtopsies really answer a lot of my questions. This time I found two that pierced the membrane at the wrong end of the egg and died in shell. I also found one that internally pipped and part of the membrane was really dry and the other part was not. I am assuming this is a humidity issue but that surprises me because mine was fairly high. Good luck...see you in ohhhhh 80 or so posts.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.
and momma Brodie seems anxious to get off the nest and who can blame her this is the 5 week on the nest as the first two attempts none of the eggs were fertile. 
I'm still praying that maybe they are just late
Wow that is totally impressive! Way to go! Someone may have answered this already but for this hatch the rate is figured as #chicks/# of eggs SET, so you don't subtract clears or quitters.
I thought it was the vent, but closer inspection shows it must be the naval. That little string is attached to it. The yellow is a tiny piece of hard boiled yolk I put in there. I know they can go for days without food, but she was so weak after being shrink wrapped I put a little in there. I also dripped vitamin water in her beak a few times.Please help. What is going on here:
This was my assisted hatch. I'd really like to save her. What can I do? Advice?
Thanks
I cant tell 100% so is this its vent or its navel?
For those of you who want to know how long it takes to catch up on 210 posts...... 43 min.
