@wesgef9Hello, I have been on here on and off to ask qustions from the most knowledgeable people when it comes to hatching eggs. (Sorry for bad grammar I don't feel like commas and periods and fighting auto correct lol) I have a call duck egg in the incubator right now and it it's parents are show quality meaning they have small beaks. The most exsperinsed hatchet of this quality of calls recently moved to the other side of the country and another I know is successful due to his ability to assist in hatching but I want to be very careful as this duckling would mean a lot if it hatched. I will assist if nessary but I wan to avoid it and in this very long and irrelevant story the qustion is are ducks the same on chickens (other than dates) when It comes down to assisted hatching? And can someone post a thread about assisting in a hatch?

I am thinking I need to go back to bedIs it bad that all I want to do is stay in bed today? Heat, kids, birthday party yesterday for husband and son, week trip to Florida and back (still haven't recovered from that) oh and did I say heat! I know everyone is experiencing this heat bake and I hope drinking plenty of water. I just want to curl up on my bed and sleep all day.
do you have images?Please can someone tell me more about the saddle air sacks or whatever they are called? I think I have some with that - all shipped eggs - and I would love more info please!! I made a HUGE painful mistake of thinking an egg that had a very odd shapped air sack wasnt viable a few days ago and it had been! Still brings me to tears.I'd never heard of this before and NEVER want to make that mistake again. Thanks,
