    Hatching from the underside of the egg.

    No I candled them right before and made sure the air cells were all on top. They were dropped air cells though, so who knows. I will just leave them and see what happens. I don't want to shrink wrap them.

    Hatching from the underside of the egg.

    That is what I wondered. It is the blunt end but on the underside, I think they are fine. I've never hatched them that the pip wasn't on top. Thanks!

    Hatching from the underside of the egg.

    When I set the eggs I put the air cell facing up. they are in a horizontal position. Some of them are pipping on the bottom (still on the rounded side) of the egg. Do I roll them? It is the right end, but the underneath side of the egg? Never had that happen before. Thanks!!!

    When do I stop turning Cotton Patch Geese

    I turned the humidity up when I went into lockdown to 65. No pips but peeked and one has broken through the membrane. I will be sitting on my hands until they hatch. The hatch day is tomorrow, so maybe they will do some pipping over night. Go little goslings!

    When do I stop turning Cotton Patch Geese

    I put them into lockdown. You can see that shadow, so I think they are ready to bust out of there. I'm so excited. Cotton Patch Goslings are so cute!!!

    When do I stop turning Cotton Patch Geese

    I have cotton patch goose eggs in my incubator which take 30 days to hatch from what I can find out. Today is day 25. I have dropped air cells which worry me a bit. It looks like they are pressing against the air cell. When do I stop turning?

    Dropped Air Cells

    Thanks. I have three more days until I quit turning. I don't think they have broken through yet, so we can only hope.

    Dropped Air Cells

    I have hatched eggs with dropped air cells before. I have some geese eggs that were shipped and the air cells didn't appear to be dropped at first. I am 2/3 way through the incubation and I can see that they are dropped a lot. Anyone have any experience with this and know what the chances are...

    Is the brown one a female?

    Thanks! We hatched them in my classroom. I am keeping the first two. We hatched seven all together. The woman I got the eggs from is keeping the rest.

    Is the brown one a female?

    Is my brown call duck a female or could it change color when it molts?

    Why have hens quit laying eggs?

    They're two to three years old. There are twenty of them. They eat laying pellets, leftovers, produce and we get about two eggs a day out of twenty-five all together. They have oyster shells. Is there a way to tell if they can still lay eggs?(I'm asking for a friend) Thanks!!!

    Duckling Keeping Head Close to Body

    It is doing much better this morning. I think making sure it has a heat lamp, putting niacin in its food, and giving it some vitamin drops helped out. It is holding its head up better this morning and even stretching its neck a little. It seems to have reestablished its bond with the other...

    Duckling Keeping Head Close to Body

    I have one small duckling that is keeping it head close to the body, so you don't see the neck stretched out like the other ducks. It is quiet. I gave 5 ducks to the woman who gave me the eggs and kept two call ducks. She brought this little one back because she was worried it wasn't doing...

    Bad Luck Ordering Eggs

    Thanks. Someone told me that you could tell. That makes me feel a bit better. I just didn't understand how someone could send unfertilized eggs. They looked like they had survived the shipping, air cells were good. Maybe it was something that was not visible. I really wanted some Shetland...

    Bad Luck Ordering Eggs

    Ordered both Sebastopol Goose eggs and Shetland Goose eggs to incubate and came up empty. I gave them time to develop, saw no veins, finally opened them up to see unfertilized eggs from appearance. One offered to send more eggs if I paid the freight. I had just used the incubator to hatch...
