The little guy passed away minutes before this post was approved for posting. I had tried sugar water and seemed to help for a few minutes, but then he got so weak he couldn't even lift it's head. All it could do was twitch and all I could was try to comfort him.

I will buy some for future ref. Sadly the little guy died minutes before the post was apprived to be posted...

Okay so starters this little guy had some issues hatching. I don't know what happened exactly but when it pipped externally there was blood on the membrane. A good bit of it. If I had to guess I think it tried to hatch too early. As when it did hatch it had not fully absorbed the yolk and what...

Sadly the little one didn't make it. I did open a small part on the air sack side and noticed the membrane wasn't broken so I opened a small part of the other side only to find it pipping at the wrong end. Also I wasn't aware of the slower grow time or the supplement. So I will definitely keep...

I was kinda wondering that but wasn't sure. Does wax work better than tape? I mean I would imagine so. I just never thought of it.

So far the others are doing okay. I've been letting my mama do most the work but I've noticed once an egg cracks. If I don't get it before she notices the next thing I know the egg it busted open. Which is why I've been taking them as soon as they pip externally.

Sadly this little guy did not make it. I do have another egg that is pipping. So in roughly 8 hours I will check it and if it has zipping I will take it in and incubate it.

It was just internal. Sadly it has passed away. It was pipping at the wrong end so I opened a small hole so it could breathe. Despite this it still passed.

I decided to open the egg a tiny bit and it wasn't at the air sack end of the egg. So I put a tiny bit of tape over the one hole and very careful open the other side. Only to be greeted by a little bill. So I'm keep it inside and incubating it myself. Gonna let the little guy do the rest of the...

So I noticed on Friday at about 8 or 9 in the morning that one of my eggs had just barely begun to Pip. It is now 10pm on Sunday. I can hear the baby actually peeping in the egg but it has yet to zip. Should I be concerned? It's been at least 61 hours since I firat noticed it pipping. Also...

I do have another question. I just did the math and the egg that was pipping started to pip at about 8 or 9 Friday morning. It's now 10pm on Sunday. It's been at least 61 hours and no sign of zipping. I can hear it actually peeping in the egg now. Should I be concerned?

Okay. Yeah most of my experiments were dome with the plastic bottom half of the incubator and a heating lamp.

So I've been letting my broody mama sit on her eggs. I was going to let her hatch them but so far at least 2 to 4 of the eggs that were close to hatching were busted open. I had since discovered that my magpies were going in there and eating the eggs via a camera and catching one with yoke on...

So for a long while I thought these two were pekins, but now I'm not so sure. They look very different from Sweetpea (who I have no doubt is a Pekin). I need help identifying them. I've tried looking it up but nothing is helpful. The first one is Eoywn, and the second is Galadriel.
