Chick update- day 22

Today when I arrived at school I moved two fluffy chicks from the incubator to the tank.  The chicks slept a lot today.  They like to huddle up and pile on one another under the heat lamp.

Chick #12 seems to be doing ok.  It’s yolk sac has shriveled up and looks like a large scab.  This chick spent the whole day in the incubator trying to dry off and fluff up but is still not ready to come out yet.  It’s feathers still look very wet. The two eggs that were remaining have not made any progress so I disposed of them after school.

Chick #12 still looked wet at 4:00 p.m.
