    Setting Duck Eggs 4/4, anyone else with me?

    If he is not standing should I still take him out of the bator and put him in the brooder? I have been transporting him back and forth between work and home because I'm afraid he won't be alive when I get home. We have been giving him water off our fingers for the last three days. I I know that...

    He hatched! But in not getting to excited because he seems very weak. Won't stand or hardly move. He is peeping like crazy though. Is there any kind of nutrients to give him that may help?

    Alright I made a hole close to its beak. I thought it was shrink wrapped because the membrane is really encasing the duck and has come away from the shell, but it is chirping like crazy at me. So I moistened the membrane and put it back in the bator because I can still see veins. How long can it...

    Okay so I can see the baby breathing inside the egg and it has been doing this for over 24 hours can I just make a hole so that it gets oxygen or should I help it hatch completely?

    Setting Duck Eggs 4/4, anyone else with me?

    I turned the egg last night that was peeping and now I'm afraid that it is no longer with us. Ahhhh, this is so awful, so now out of the 5 that were still moving 4 days ago I think only two are still alive. I am worried about one of them though it seems that the air cell is much larger than the...

    Okay I'm about to go into lockdown and have a few questions. I know to stop turning on day 25, but if I set my eggs at 4:00 in the afternoon do I turn up until that time? Also, some look to maybe pipped internally do I continue to turn those? They are ducks and day 25 starts tomorrow at 4:00pm...

    My students have been on the edge of their seat for the last three days. We have hatched 3 chicks out of our four. We had to help one out this morning because it pipped yesterday around 9:00 am and never did anything else. The egg was super small and it had a hard time moving. There was no way...

    Okay ladies we had our first pip today, but it is really low and on the side of the shell. Is this okay? Should we be alarmed? It is the smallest egg we have and is a chicken egg. Also, they are due to hatch on Thursday, so this one is about 48 hours early.

    That is so exciting! We went into lock down today too, but for chicks. I hope I have everything right and they hatch soon.

    How is everyone doing? We had another loss today. :( We are now down to 6 duck eggs. In my classroom we have 5 out of our 6 chicken eggs going strong. :) I have a student who just gets so excited every time we candle them. He just talks to them and coddles them. It's the sweetest thing.

    So, I candled our eggs tonight and it looks like we have 7 out of the 14 that are developing. It seems that 2 have blood rings, what do y'all think?
