The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[ronott1]

Here are some pictures of the inside of the egg and the paper towel from where the baby hatched.

It seems to be normal from what I can tell and the 3 of them are kicking the remaining 4 eggs. The one pipped is having a fit.

@ronott1 @Sally Sunshine anyone rise have any ideas as to why it was so wet?

The eggshell looks perfectly normal.

Good job!

Ok. I've never seen one so so wet. Good to know that it is OK.

I did notice that 1 of them is missing a nail on it's middle toe and an other is missing a mail on it's back toe. I will take a picture once they fluff up more.

Congratulations!​

My neighbor just gave me the cutest little sunbeam rotisserie. She's only used it once and thought that I could make better use of it.

You'll use it I"m sure!!

Oh, just send them my way!!!!

We had a discussion on the diary thread months ago as to why some say their bator stinks after hatch, and some of ours is clean and doesnt stink.... reason most commonly is too much humidity and or not enough heat..... again worth the read IN FULL ARTICLE LINK AT BOTTOM

I'll read it when Im done with my chores later tonight. My humidity was normal in my bator and my temps were good in the hatcher. All the others have been what I've seen as normal. So this one was just to damp?

Quote: as you know eggs can vary a bit in moisture loss, perhaps this one was just a tad more than the other, if the chick looks good dont worry about it! you already know sand is an issue, when its wet!
