    Rescue Duck Eggs Pip Humidity??

    By the way @Hannahk92 - or anyone else with a story or two - ... last night I had them in a small bin with towels and a heat plate and the 2 present did great. But, added Filbert this morning and after a bit they were quite active and trying to escape so I gave them a larger run. Watched them...

    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    Will post a pic or 20 soon as I am refreshing my memory re microscope. It's digital but been a minute since I used it. Got it to view crystals we dug in Arkansas last spring. So last question so I don't keep you up - with one having its beak poking in and out and another pipped is it ok to...

    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    Nice to meet you Ms. Hannah! UK!! Depending on how the global goings-on shake out, we will definitely have a chance to meet one day! Was planning a trip there before C19! Very nice set up. Amazingly, and didn't occur to me until now, but I just got out my electron microscope with an LED...

    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    Welp... There were 10 eggs to begin with left in the nest when Mama was killed one night so my neighbor could only give me a 7 day window of possibility as she had mulched on a Sunday and didn't see any nest whatsoever at that time. She went out of town Memorial day weekend and on Tuesday when...

    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    Awww, bless. Thank you. As I mentioned earlier it means the world to me to know I'm not alone in spirit right now. Yes, one of two that have external pips is now working on zipping. Not much from the other 5 and the other one I see an external pip on is silent and still right now. Think...

    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    OH MY GOSH!!! Beautiful! Thank you for your words. I don't feel so alone now. Truly. I'm 55 years old and never ever anticipated the level of stress involved in something like this. I can barely function today. Leaving my stocks alone (trader) because I can't focus for diddle. Thinking...

    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    I'm in a similar boat (my humidity isn't that high but external pip not seen when I kept cracking the lid to bring humidity down) so I'm going to keep a watch on your post. Also sending huge good vibes to you as I also am a first timer. Unintentional first timer too. Hold tight, parent-to-be!

    Rescue Duck Eggs Pip Humidity??

    I have 6 mallard duck eggs on lockdown and to begin with I'm so scared! There was a 7 day window of not knowing exactly what day(s) they were all in the nest but Mom was seen sitting on them one day and next morning it appeared an animal had attacked her and killed her. Purchased a Kebonnixs...
