The Biggest Adventure EVER! Incubating chicks in school PICTURES!

[ChickLover98]

Thats great! Candling went great, 24/27 look perfect! I might PM you later,but I have to go right now, so bye!

 

[ChickLover98]

I candled today again and only had to get rid of 2! The rest look great! Pray for 25 healthy little chickies!

Its lockdown! Were down to 24 eggs that all look great! Can't wait till tuesday!

 

[ChickLover98]

Well, its day 22 and nothing except moving. We cracked one just to see and there was a living, moving chick inside! It was bloody... What should we do?? HELPPPPP!!!!

Day 22 is too early to start opening the bator. Wrap up the bloody chick and put it inside the bator in a wet towel, but it is probably too late for it. Do not open that bator for another 2 days. Class room hatches are never easy and slightly low temps on weekends can easily slow down a hatch.

They will hach on their own, do not open that 'bator (in fact, tape it shut) and do not open up any more eggs.

Ok... Heres some facts:

The hole is smaller than a dime...

And BB is still moving.

We will keep our fingers crossed and we wont give up!

Be patient especially in a classroom. The temperature fluctuations can put it off by two or three days, we had a hatch go on the 25th day and we'd had a power outage during the incubation.

for the bloody chick, wipe is off a bit and put it back in the bator.
