I'm so sad.
I got some great eggs and got an incubator and gave it a try. It's day 23 and one finally made it out. It's crippled. I researched and it's from slow hatching. wry neck or something like that. I have 2 more in the bator and they are peeping but can't seem to hatch. My temps were perfect the whole time and I turned them 3 times a day. My humidity was 30%- 45% the whole time and about 55% the last 3 days on lockdown. That is as high as it would go. I had a humidifier in the room and everything. I can't believe after all that stress and I have nothing but one deformed chick that I will probably have to cull. One of the others died right after it hatched and it had a big tumor looking thing on it's head and it's back end looked like it was hanging out.
I must have the worse luck of anyone! I'm just beside myself with grief.
