He was a cute little naked neck if anyone is curious. :love We will bury him later today. I’m sad he didn’t make it, and next hatch maybe I’ll really mark the air cells and watch more closely.
Here is a photo of what I found.
Is he also malpositioned? I thought their head was supposed to be under a wing? But I don’t really know what that’s supposed to look like. He’s just curled up in there.
He didn’t make it. :(
I don’t know if he didn’t make it because he was shrink wrapped or if he died beforehand. I’m bummed. 😞 I just don’t know why that particular egg seems to have lost so much moisture at the end. I candled on day 18 and the air cells were large, but not THAT big as when I...
So, I candled the egg and the air cell is HUGE - I think he may be shrink wrapped. No internal pip that I could see. I am going to go in and see if he’s alive and I might be able to help him get the process started. I’m afraid it might be too late. He also could have died beforehand so I’m just...
Still waiting on Billy, no pips or movement but not giving up yet! If there’s still nothing going on in the morning I may give it a quick candle to see if he’s pipped internally or not. Hopefully just a late bloomer!
:fl
So far 77%, but I’m pretty sure the pipped one is going to Hatch. Lost one during incubation so the best I’ll get on this one is 92%, which is great! I’m not sure about #13, I don’t see a pip or movement today but it’s still too early to call it for me

Saguaro popped out! He has the most black of all the Anconas :love
Now just waiting for Billy the Kid, who as far as I can see hasn’t pipped (but the fat end of his egg is stuck inside another shell so he very well could have)
And number 3, Cheyenne, who is pipped and just...
So interesting!! One day I’m going to have to do a deep dive on learning more about chicken genetics. I am thinking “one day” is probably going to come sooner than later. I haven’t left the incubator since 6:30am just waiting to see what all these babies are going to look like!

Lainey has made her debut!!!
She looks more like Lasso so now I’m questioning if I mixed Doc and Lasso up. I’ll be able to tell better when everyone is fluffy and I can look for fluffy Easter egger cheeks.

Trigger is out! Another naked neck, but darker! I didn’t know if I had any of her eggs in the mix.
Adorable :love
He seems a little grumpy 🤣
