Good day all! So after successfully hatching some polish frizzles I’ve now got my hands on 6 Emden goose eggs😳😬 please throw any important info you may have at me! I’m conflicted by so many different methods and humidity levels! Currently just places them in at 37.5 and humidity of 40... many...
Honestly just read all that you can. I was suggested to do a dry hatch as my first but I convinced myself to do it the other way. I kept it at 30% until lock down and temp all the way through at 37.5 . I candled on day 10 , 15 and then 18 then left them alone which was so hard!! Don’t forget to...
It really is! I think I read too many bad stories and not enough good and started doubting myself too much. They are both eating and drinking and I’m handling them quite a lot and they snuggle into my neck when I lay down with them🙈💕
Unfortunately I have 100% got the bug and this place is like a...
I’ve done as you said, a second one hatched about an hour ago! So that’s two out of four. I did quickly check the other two, as I was putting more water in and I think one has not made it and the other is still going so will just sit and be patient. I will add pics as soon as no.2 has fluffed up...
Omg the first one is out!! Is it sad that I cried a little bit (happy cry) all out safe and sound, the other eggs are now chirping away just not pipped yet, shall I just leave them to it?
Ok so today at 2pm is day 21. One egg is moving every time I talk into the bator, and one has just pipped the outside shell, I heard a few little chip noises with my stethoscope that I had on the bator and it was that!!!
Thank you !! I will do. I know I shouldn’t expect too much as a lot of first time hatches do go wrong😕☹️ I’m trying so hard not to be excited in case ... but I can’t!!
My partner already feels lower in the hierarchy 😂😂🙈 but he also sees the happiness they bring so win win! We started with three and it’s just growing and growing , ducks too now😂😍
Awww😍 I’m just starting out and I’ve seriously got the bug! I can’t believe how much joy I get from my birds 💕 I have planned the whole weekend around them too, spent yesterday doing absolutely everything so the path was clear just for them 😆
Good morning (uk time) first time Hatcher and all I describe is the feeling of waiting for Christmas as child! Ok so I know it’s absolute basics, but just a bit of reassurance is needed with my dates I think.
I put my eggs in on Saturday 25th January at 2pm . So would that make today day 20...
