Okay two up-side-down chicks have hatched out and are doing very well. One shrink-wrapped a bit overnight and is exhausted from the struggle. Hopefully it has enough reserves to finish the hatch.
okay he gave up...three eggs were late stage quitters. I still have two pipped eggs left to hatch.
Chick pic: They look a little crowded, but it's a choice to nap on top of each other.
BATCH#4 into the Hatcher - locked down to hatch 10/19/16
Set 11 eggs into the incubator for November 6th.
uPsIDE DoWN ChICk UPDATE:
He was determined but very small compared to the others. He gave it his best but gave up the fight last night. Sweet dreams upsidedown chick rip.
uPsIDE DoWN ChICk UPDATE:
After laying on his side all day and looking like he would die any minute; he got up and started to walk around. I now have guarded hope. The sad part is I almost pulled the plug three times. I hate watching them suffer; but I left him alone. We will see how...
