Hands on hatching and help

[AmyLynn2374]

It hatched! I did some zipping and it kicked really fast! It has some membrane on its neck/head? Do I need to remove it or will it fall off? The inside of egg has a little clear/light yellow goo...is that a bad sign or ok

? It's moving around chirping and trying to stand up!!!

That's great! If the membrane isn't hindering its ability to move, you can leave it and eventually it will wear off. It will just take a couple days before it fluffs up. If it hinders movement or is really bugging you, you can wash it off with warm sudsy (blue dawn) water. Just make sure not to get water in it's little nose holes. Congrats!

I had gone to bed last night and happened to think, I forgot to ask if that air cell was that low, or if it pipped below the air cell. Because if it missed the air cell, they can take longer to actually hatch, since they usually internally pip for ~24 hours, then externally for ~24 hours.

But I'm sure glad it hatched ok! Congrats! Please post some pics when it gets fluffy!

Make sure to use warm water if the sticky membrane is an issue my last hatch the poor little bugger was covered in it and it was like wax strips...

So leave it if u can even washing mine was hard to get it off w/o any fluff coming w/ it.

Well I give up on this turner I tried to glue it back together with the special plastic glue after difficulties with the regular superglue (it actually did stick, only problem was it actually glued itself to the turner motor part so it couldn't pivot and it just snapped back apart as it tried to turn) and it held together but then wouldn't slide back over the part it needed to slide over and when I tried to push it back over it broke back apart. So I've emailed Brinsea.

Stupid ?, i put my eggs in the bator on Dec 11th at 6:00 pm so that means that my day 21 will start today at 6 pm right?

 

[Lilmissesmom]

Sorry correction, I put the eggs in at 6PM on the 10th not the 11th

Day 21 is the same day of the week that you set them on. So 21 started last night at 6 pm.

How do you use Corn Starch for bleeding in an egg, sprinkle it or make a paste???
