Well I tried and it died this morning, it was just way to weak.

Well I had one hatch yesterday morining, its still not dry and has a tiny bit of yolk sac its still working on. It has been 24 hours now, why is it not dry? Should it take this long? The chock still seems really weak too. I left it in the bator like I was told but 24 hours later and I'm kinda...

It just hatched out this morning and it has some bloody stuff hanging from its bottom. I read about the whole yolk sac thing, but there is no yellow in this what so ever. The chick is gaining strength, but I can't tell if it is drying up and going away. I would post a pic but the chick never...

had a major temp spike while I was asleep and they died. trying again soon!

I'm sorry, but good luck on your next round!! Got my fingers crossed for ya. This is my first round, and I will have more but we can do it. And if my darn phoenix hen would ever go broody she could to, but no she is to good for that lol. Silly chicken!

No they where peeping but we had a temp spike yesterday and even with a sponge the membrane covered its nose and it wasn't able to breath. If I would have known I would have atleast fixed that and then it probably would have been fine. Live and learn. Lost 15 other eggs because of the temp...

I have hope but its hard to tell when to help and when to leave them I had one die this morning because I decided not to help and the membrane was covering its nose. didn't find out til this morning and it was already gone. But live and learn. Good luck with your other babies!!

yup that is crazy huh? so far so good but I think the chick may be to big to move very well. I don't really know what to do at this point!

My eggs have been way over due, but I didn't give up hope and it is now day 29 and I have pips. I'm so excited, it just goes to show I need to always go with my gut! Will update later!

Day 27, just checked this morning and still no pis but still lots of egg movement!! Fingers crossed!

still not out but they are rocking back and forth, and have been for days now. I'm getting so anxious, but I'm just checking on them from the window. Really hope to have a hatch by morning. I will keep things posted.

well its day 26 and I still have no pips, but there is still movement. Has any had hatches this late? My thermometer I had was off so I got a new one and the temps have been fine every since, but that was 3 days ago I found out. My first hatch and I am really nervious at this point, any advice??

:) k will do, and it doesn't help that I'm 8 months pregnant and this hatching is a mommy thing! ty for the advice and I will keep ya posted!

well I did find out my thermometer was off a couple of degrees but I fixed it soon as I noticed. Oh and are the veins around the air sack going to go away at hatch or are they supose to be there?
