Congrads Daria! You made it this far, and a small hatch will have your undivided attention as no other. You will have the sweetest pure second generation Lyle Behl Icelandics in the State of Texas!

Daria, I understand the feeling, I got a shipment of eggs when it was very very cxold and not one hatched, BUT that was followed by a batch that hatched every single one! Your time will come! Andyfromfbg

Well Andy told me I had to open the last 3 eggs and look at them I cried the whole time. 2 - quit while still embro's the last little one was a completely formed little black & gold feathered little chick. It's head was all tucked yup into it's body. Was not stuck to the shell but the membrain was dry and rubbery. Suggestions? I think my turner is not working properly so I moved the eggs in the Brower Top Hatch into an egg carton and put them in my Hovabator. With a 1 1/4 piece of wood under one side. Will move it to different sides every 4/6 hours or so. If the ones in the Brower were not turned or not turned well for the last 10 days, will they be ok? they seemed to be doing great when I candled them. Not gonna even touch them now - till lock down when I will add water. The water "pits" in the bottom are full as well as a 1/2 of a foam coffee cup full in one corner. poor little chickie
