    Incubating Fail!

    Thank you. I ended up the same, out of all of them, I had one that was still alive and growing, but then after 28 days no action, checked it and it was no longer alive, so I waited a few more days the cracked it open and it was fully formed, but did not Pip at all. I’ve got more eggs to try...

    Incubating Fail!

    I was somewhat ok with the infertile eggs because that’s out of my hands, but the ones that died in the shell are the ones that I kept trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.

A friend of mine asked if I could hatch out 15 guinea keets for him, mine were laying 3 per day so I was storing the laid...
