Well, no new chicks. The first one came from a small egg, and the rest were normal sized eggs. So I think it was just early........

Late bloomers???? I am glad for the ones you have and still have hope for the rest! Do you have to go to school today and leave them alone?

Have you tried candling them again? How high was your humidity during incubation? If it was too high them the chicks get too big for the shell and can't hatch. I've had that happen several times.

I cooked the chicks :hit

But I got em out of the egg myself, and the first two are recovering. One had membrane burnt onto it , but its doing okay now. They are being a fed warm water with sugar and feed mixed in, its helping them too. They are dehydrated but Im working hard to get em back on track. I know survival rate is not supposed be high at all when this happens but Im trying my best to help them......
