The good news: They waited for me to get home before hatching!!! So happy to know they listen. Ha.
I had 4 come on day #19 and one Tues, day #20. One more came this morning, day #21. Thinking I'll toss the rest of the eggs out this afternoon. Did water test on all but 1 that's cracked a teeny bit. They floated low-ish enough, but who knows?
Here's the trouble: one of the healthy-looking ones died last night. Another good one died this morning, and the day#20 one has splayed legs & won't open its eyes. What's with that? We have 2 strong ones running around under the brooder and one wet one in the incubator still. Ugh. Is this just the way it goes?
