Ok, I found my problem my fan died in my hatcher and we had to hook up another one. So my chick count so far is 4 of the 12 I started with these and mixed barnyard chicks my Rooster is Welsummer. And the one from my Welsummer hen has not hatched yet.

edited to add pic.

I'm really liking this different colored chick, mother is a California white and father a salmon faverolle.
My last egg hatched today with a total of 11 out of 16 hatch for me

So, my hatch is complete.  Out of 7 eggs a total of 7 live chicks hatched. 

Nice hatch!

I can hear peeping under the broodies! So I have at least one! Woot! So cool. My first broody
hatch!

My very first hatchling ever!

Broodies are the best!

Happy Easter everyone! Congratulations to those of you with chicks, or chicks in progress of hatching!

What should I do in this situation?? It looks like this poor guy is shrink wrapped in his membrane.. I was worried about him BC he had a big air bubble before so I candled him and this is what I saw. The air bubble almost takes up half the shell now.

Hard to tell for sure from a picture, but it looks like a late quitter. Do you see any movement?

 

[Happy Chooks]

HELP!! First pipped chick is blowing bubbles!

I've never seen anything like this, do you have a picture?

Day 22, don't see anything new for sure, but it's hard with 17 or so little black chicks running all over the bator! So I'm setting up a box to move them, pull out the shells, adjust humidity and seeing if there will be any late bloomers. Then I can post a pic or two!
