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...
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!

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!
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??
