Wheaten Marans/BLR Wyandottes Incubating Blog

Katy,

There is only one vent on the top. I will open it up. It is small though. I was scared to let out the humidity...

WOOOHOOO!!!More pips

 

[Derrick]

Now there is 7 pips. The two remaining Wyandottes are both piped. There are 4 Marans not piped and 5 that are piped. I am worried about the one that is almost done zipping. The membrane looks dry and when I look in the first hole it made he does not appear to be moving....

Hang in there

Don't worry, yet. Probably just resting.

Back chick has burst free....

He looks good and is wet. The humidity in there jumped to 76% with him out. The sides are a little fogged..

The one I'm worried about in the front is still not moving and is almost totally zipped. We will see what happens now.... I don't want to open it to find out unless someone tells me to give it a go. I feel that if he is dead then there is nothing I can do now anyway...

WOOHOOO your first chick is out!!!!

Don't open the bator..I have to still tell my self that every hatch... It's hard you want to help but you could let the humidity out and take the chance of killing the rest..Don't open the bator..keep telling yourself...

The pics are GREAT loving that new bator..I see one in my future(LOL)

Two chicks out. The first front one that piped has no more progression and the other front one stopped as well. We will see.... I'm so tempted to try and help that first one as I think it is a gonner but...... I read over and over to leave it shut and leave them alone till the end.......

So that is what I'll do....

3 are now out but still not the two in the front that I am worried about....
