Here it is!  Finally down for a nap. Poor baby has a little cut from the membrane sticking... plus you see there is still a piece of membrane sticking that I had to cut to free him from the shell.... figured I'd let him nap before trying to work it off.

Thanks, guys!!  It keeps trying to stumble around and get his legs under him... then pops up and whacks his head on top of bator.  Then, I'll stick my hand into bator and it tries to crawl on my hand to sleep.   I may have to move him to the post-hatching tank sooner rather than later, so he has better traction and no ceiling.

 

70%, I'll be a champ when I get all 3 babies out safe and healthy. wink.png

My menagerie includes 5 horses, 3 dogs, 4 cats, 32 geese (dewlap toulouse & african) and 10 ducks (muscovy, ancona, cayuga & silver appleyard).

I have 10 grey dewlaps on day 7 in my bator now.  I plan on buying a new bator by next week to complete cooking/hatching those babies.
