egg incubating day 16
« on: February 15, 2011, 07:17 »
hi i have just candled my eggs for the last time, 16 days, one of them is wriggling inside but haven`t seen any movement in the other, only checked for a couple of seconds though.
do the developing chicks sleep and i just caught him at a lazy time or could he have died?
any info greatly appreciated.

Either is possible but wait and dont keep peeping or it may just die anyway :(

It will either hatch or it wont but its not long now :) :)

I have candled eggs that looked very dead and they have still hatched :)
I love Pekins, Polands and Seramas :) and eggs!!!

I agree with CC on this.  Leave them be now and see what happens!

Ive thought a few were dead but then they came hatching out so you can be surprised!

Fingers crossed.

I agree with the 2 Above, Let them be and see what happens, what will be will be  ::) Ive had eggs that i though were duds and they still hatched, Ive had eggs hatch as early as 19 days and as late as 23 days, so you can never tell 100% whats going to happen...But then again isn't that part of the fun  :D
