Sorry your 1 hatch didnt make it  *fingers crossed* for the other.
I have 4 legbars due to hatch on Monday, trying not to think about it too much, They are under a broody so just leaving mum to do her job 

[lisa123]

thanks i seem to have more look with my broody, but have only had incubator about a a couple of months so it is trial and error at the mo. oh well fingers crossed. :blink:

[lisa123]

  well have got another chick pipping but so to speak not counting my chicks until they hatch.    s will let you know pls keep your fingers crossed, we have hatched plenty of ducklings just need some chicks now.
 

[lisa123]

   its hatched and still in incubator chirping away to itself, none of the other eggs are showing any sign of hatching so unfortunately only one this time.  will be in a brooder with a couple of teddies tommorow to keep it company.

   it was a sad day as the chick that hatched we had to euthenise? it had a wonky leg and every time it had a sip of water it was making a gugling noise and looked like it was choking. i broke my heart and have refused to put anymore chick eggs in the incubator. i know i shouldnt give up but for the minute i cant do anymore.

so sorry Lisa, you did the best thing you could for it  . I would wait now until next year and then think about trying again in the spring xx
