The big cheese hatch-a-long

[5.3acredream]

Two more- one was cheddar in the smallest egg and a very small chick but she seems healthy

Not sure about the other but she's a big girl. Looks like she has wry neck. I gave her nutri drench and I guess we will see.

Sometimes their necks get cranked over from being in a weird position inside the egg too long. It may straighten out.

Limburger, pepper jack, and cambert are quitters. Camberts aircell is very large but they all look like they quit around the same time. Still some veins present but zero movement, some dead space in the egg. So all in all, with my very first hatch AND making my own incubator, no auto turner, we hatched 11/14 fertilized eggs, so about 79% Of course, I'd have loved 100% but I feel like this is pretty good.

Wry neck seems so be somersaulting less but I'll spend more time watching later this morning. My brain woke me up and told me to see if the three non-hatchers had internally pipped but I should try to get more sleep now.

I'll post pictures of the cheeses later today!

We have one very spray leg chick whom I have bandaid-ed her legs together. The wry neck is doing much better. Still a little lumbering and head down more than the others but no more tumbles and walking more upright.
