Durr..Sorryaout yur last hatch...it happens ....the little guy could have been shrink wrapped if they die at the very last sometimes it is.
How long was he pipped?if its over 24 hours i would assist
Keep the humidity up to 65 at least. and dont open the bator
Better luck on this hatch!
Sounds good!! Congrats!! Im waitiing on my hens to lay a couple more eggs to set.i have 8 so far but need more and of course thwy arent laying now. Sunny later.... maybe then?
I dont know much about broody hens but fro m what ihave read if I were you i would get out the incubator and put them in there .You have some hours before they will die to get it set up and temp stablized
I dont know about broody spots. i havent had a broody hen but you might try putting her...
Well iwasnt going to hatch any more for a while (famous last words)...until my Lavender Orpington girls started to lay ...but now they have last week or week before so i am going to set some if i get enough next Thursday or Friday so the bator stays on.
Think just 2 are laying right now out...
Well a dark mass can be the chick developing and i think but not positive that you cant see veins well later sometimesI never could ut my eggs are all dark ones
If the dark mass is taking up 3/4 of the egg then hold it close and still with the candler and see if anything moves Sometimes...
