Unfortunately we lost him. ;( he was peeping in the shell. We could hear him. The next day there was no more movement, peeping nothing. After 24 hours of silence we candled him. He was dead. We slowly opened the shell and he was beautiful and completely formed. We don't know what went wrong. ;(
The top was turning a really dark color. We opened the incubator and it had a smell to it. I listened to the egg, no peeping like last night, no movement. Candeled it. Nothing. I opened the top part of the shell to peek in and he was gone. and rock hard, and dried out. I don't understand what...
Opened incubator and it had a bad smell. The top of the egg was turning a really dark color. I opened the top very gently to see inside. :( The little guy was gone :(
It was rock hard and kind of dried up. I have no idea what happened. We didn't touch him, open the incubator, we were up most of...
Top of egg is turning gray!!!!! I haven't touched it or opened the incubator! So I don't even know if it is alive. Should I be worried about the Graying????
Egg is on lock down. Has internally piped, not externally. Just noticed that the top is turning gray. Everyone is saying don't touch or open it.... So I don't even know if it is still alive. Should I be concerned about this graying???
No, nothing external yet... I think I can see the egg move a bit, but I don't know if its my eyes playing tricks on me. Hes on lock down so I can't touch him or anything. We have a video camera set up... so once he hatches I will load the video. :)
Hey everyone. I have 1 Muscovy duck egg that I rescued because a raccoon got to all of them and the mama. I built a make shift incubator out of a Styrofoam cooler, heat lamp etc. ( Its what I had the night it happened) Happy to say ( and shocked because I have NEVER done this) that 30 days...
Should there be air going in and out? Because I have it on "lock down" the cooler is closed. I cut out a square in the top and replaced it with a piece of glass so we could see in. Should I have ventilation holes?
