*big sigh* Just an hour or so ago she was find and happy. Now, suddenly, she seems to be near death. I've posted about it on the Emergencies page, but I don't think there's anything I can do.

So sorry to not update! We've been busy with our 4H group. This weekend was our county show. (If you'll put up with a moment to brag before the update) my daughters each earned two blue ribbons! Before I forget, thank you all for your help! I needed some serious hand-holding and you were all...

Crazy. I did help unzip the egg. The top popped off easily and I put her back into the carton. After a while, I loosened the shell from the membrane a little. It just seemed like the right thing to do. The bottom of hte shell was still attached. So, I wrapped it in a warm, wet towel. I left...

FYI, these are Australian Spotted Duck eggs. I am not even sure when I put them in, but I think they are between 26 and 31 days old.

I am embarrassed to say that this happened, but I put some duck eggs in the incubator and for reasons I won't go into, completely forgot about them. I blew it in the first week and never bothered to take them out (yes, I know how bad that is). I cannot tell you what the temp has been because I...
