Number 3 and number 6 never finished developing
Number 2 i assisted in hatching and she/he is doing well, besides part of her comb/beak missing
Im kinda disappointed in this hatch with 5 eggs that werent fertile or didnt finish developing and only 3 that hatched
Alright so far
Number 4 was the first one to pip at 8 am on 5/5 then hatched with some assistance at 2pm on 5/6
Number 5 pipped at around 8 am on 5/6 and hatched at around 10 am all by itself
Number 2 pipped sometime early yesterday morning and was doing good until i think she hit a blood...
The chick that pipped yesterday needed some assistance getting the egg away, so i peel top of the egg shell off and left the membrane, within 10 minutes the chick was free and healthy
Eggs are on Lockdown !
Candling from last night i pulled 1, 7 and 8 all the others seemed to be going strong! I should have used a brighter light though.
