Had a singleton hatch so far. There were only two eggs that developed so not necccisarily counting on the second one to hatch. I had to help the one out of his shell this morning - completely stuck and my humidity is terribly low in the incubator. I can get it up to the 60's but it drops within 12 hours down to the 20's.
1. His toes are curled so far - will they straighten up on their own? I don't know that I have the fine motor coordination to make boots that small.
2. How will he do as a single chick?
Hot2Pot suggested the old stuffie trick which I have used with single chicken chicks. There are other eggs in there due to hatch in the next week. Will he grow enough that he will be OK with them? There are 2 chicken eggs and 5 guineas.
Ok I guess that is three questions...
Thanks for any help - I have read and reread the button sticky - it has been a big help.
