I would like to take a moment to remember the other little ducklings that passed away from this infection. Now we can understand WHY we had to go through that, so that little Rocky could be with us here today!
Kathy! I'm so thankful for the sacrifice those widdle waddles made for all of us!
Perfect! Mine's in my living room.

Holy cow - I love it that I am not the only lunatic who has a FARM in my living room! I always think that if ANYONE knew, they'd seize my animals and put me in a mental institution! Who LIVES with farm animals in their living room? SO GLAD to come here to learn that I am "normal" - or at least that there are other lunatics out there! The wood chips are taking over my house, and NO ONE but you folks here can understand that!
I now have 11 Embden eggs in the incubator which I wouldn't bet a nickel on them being fertile, but just to be sure, they are in there.
I also just added 6 Muscovy eggs from my last years hatch which are just starting to lay. Now those may be fertile as I've seen a lot of action in their pen, but yet again, this is their first time.
Been trying to get on a list for Midget White turkeys. I want to put a dozen in the incubator.
Someday I'd like to try a couple of emu or rhea fertile eggs.
And on an unrelated note, I really do not have even a hint of a green thumb, but my African Violets are doing very well !
OMG, Kathy those are some GREAT pics.
Here's a pickle I got myself into, I threw some eggs in the bator, one was cracked pretty good at the air cell. So I applied tape to it. Well I really wasn't expecting anything to happen but I candled it last night. LOL sure enough is GROWING.
OMG, but stupid me forgot the reason why I put the tape on it in the first place, so I started pealing the tape off, ONLY to cause more damaged to already Cracked shell. Now theres a THUMB print of broken shell. Some of the shell has fallen off but the embryo STILL ALIVE.
So I taped it back up really good. Will see if this guy can make it to the end. He's on his 10th day, I really don't expect much or expect him to make it but it would be interesting if he does.
IF he does and that's a BIG IF, we can put me down for: W T H ????? they don't even die when you CRACKED 3/4 of the SHELL? How is that Possible..
EASY question for the experts: Is it OK to write on the eggs (just number them!) with a Sharpie? I have been numbering them with a pencil, but the numbers are rubbed off by Zippy when she turns and sits on the eggs. I know egg shells are porous, so not sure if Sharpie ink is safe.
@casportpony - Your babies are PRECIOUS! Are those zip ties on their legs to identify them? We thought of doing that, but were afraid they would get too tight and we would not be able to get them off. Do you have any problems with them? I know they make leg bands....We are currently still using the "dot of food coloring on the head" method of identification!
I use a Sharpie on all of my Eggs, there's a lot of discrepancies about it. Some say it goes into the pores but I have done it for YEARS, I have never had an issue with using it. For me I put the date that the eggs are in the process. If you really think about it if a sharpie ruins it then why not any other type of Ink or Pencil markings.
But for me, Sharpie's are not an issue..
All nine required assistance, and this one was more lethargic than the others.
Wow, you are quite the busy hatcher, lol. Where do you get peafowl eggs from this early?

yinepu, Have you access to any fertile Ocellated Turkey eggs?............
