Jules. Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 we candled them again tonight we worked out that we ought to have 12-17 hatching but sadly we are sure two are dead. we cracked them in a bowl and the poor things hadn't even developed properly i dont have much experience but they look like these were diseased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 thanks for posting - pictures like this are helpful reference - tho I have no idea what I'm looking at really! I hope the rest of your hatch is successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 What stage of development are they? The one on the left definitely looks dead, as the veins have collapsed and are now black. The one on the right looks a bit more healthy....some of the veins are still very fine, and red, and the yolk yellow......was there definitely no heart beat with this one? (could just be how the colours appear in the pic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 this was at day 18 -they seemed to be moving a little but we decided they were too undevloped to leave in the incubator and we could only keep the incubator till wednesday (when we bring the chicks to their bigger brooder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
