Pete,
Isis came out last night after some assistance. She was stuck in her position for over 40 hours so I took the top of the egg off and kinda rolled back the outter membrane to the middle of the shell. I placed her on a moist warm washcloth back in the bator and she was out without minutes...
Pete that is great news. My first pip was on the wrong end too. She is making no progress in over 24 hours so tomorrow I may have to try to help some. When I checked on her today I had a second pip in the right end
Sorry to hear that Sarah I hope you have better luck with your next batch.
Pete I hope yours come soon. One of my duck eggs is hatching right now. Little early but she is still doing ok in her shell knitting a sweater or something.
Thanks Pete I found out that the fan in there did lower the temps in the bator quite a bit. So adjustments have been made and so far we are doing really good. I'm on day 13 hard to believe its been almost 2 weeks already.
How are the eggs progressing? Good I hope. My duck eggs are still doing good. I just added a far to the bator to help keep temps stable. so far so good.
I was thinking about that but maybe next year. I have a pair of Canadian geese at my house right now that raise their chicks at my pond. I will see how they act with the baby ducks when they can go outside before I start with geese. I don't want a bunch of mayhem.
Yeah the ones with the veins are my duck eggs. I was using my other 5 as something to compare to. I don't think my goose egg was fertile as there is no development that i can see. I will check it again but I wont keep up to much hope.
I will have babies hanging around my yard... YAY
The Canadian Geese came back yesterday to have their babies on the island of my pond. I didn't think they would be back this year as one of them lost their mate last year. I hope its the same momma because she used to let me sit and feed the...
I hope so too. I don't want to get my hopes up too much seeing I have all kinds of strikes against me already with them being shipped eggs lol
I will post pics tonight.
So neat to watch the development. Thanks for the update.
Today will be day 2 for my eggs. I figure around day 5 I will candle when I lay my big guy down on the rack. Ohh ill do the duck eggs too LOL I think I am more excited about the accidental goose egg than I am about my duck eggs...
Thank you for your advise. I was thinking I should do it that way but I wanted someone who knows what they are doing to say it too. I am going to wait a few more days to do it because it was a shipped egg. I want to make sure the aircell stays intact. Not that it looked bad to begin with but...
Hey Pete I want to pick your brain.....
Do you think it would be better for me to keep my egg in the turner up or is it a better idea to lay it down on the rack of the turner and secure it like that? I didn't know if it would turn enough laying down... But then again I don't know if it really...
