Suggestions for Management of Damaged and Mal-positioned Egg Air Cells
Hi Backy Thats great news and thanks for letting us know. A lesson in maintaining stable incubation conditions and allowing mother nature to take its course. Just shows that these eggs with air cell damage are well worth trying and especially so with rare breeds. Once again well done and... -
Suggestions for Management of Damaged and Mal-positioned Egg Air Cells
Hi The best you can hope for now is to maintain stable conditions and keep up your turning programme. You can raise the blunt end of the eggs with a wedge of cotton wool or gauze etc which will promote the ducklings to settle into the correct hatching position. You've done all you can and now... -

Hi Karen Just incubate vertically with no turning for 48 hours then just turn them by tilting. As you can see the goose eggs where incubated vertically with tilted turning right up to internal pipping then I laid them on their sides for hatching. In your case you can stop turning and lay them... -

Hi Its the R-Com Pro 20 with PC software. The computer software is ok but not for me. For others its a good method of refining egg management techniques and may be of use. However for ease of use, flexibility, turning options and temperature and humidity control its SUPERB. I highly... -

Suggestions for Management of Damaged and Mal-positioned Egg Air Cells
Our last clutch of Dewlap eggs were incubated by their mother for 2 weeks. When removed there were 3 fertile but 2 had ruptured air cells due to clumsy incubation. On candling their was free fluid in the area where the air cell should be. This 'sloshed' about on movement of the eggs. However... -

Hi Thanks for the positive comments. This does appear to be a major problem in shipped eggs with the trauma of shipping resulting in detached or damaged air cells. However it can also be due to clumsy incubating and I've just suffered the same problem I had a young goose incubating well and... -

Buff beauty - great news on those eggs and often more difficult to candle early as the embryonic disc floats under the air cell area. You often have to wait a little longer to confirm fertility so the blood vessels spread out into a more visible area. All looking promising though and embryos... -
Suggestions for Management of Damaged and Mal-positioned Egg Air Cells
The incubation techniques described for management of an abnormal air cell worked. The air cell expanded well and the egg achieved the target weight loss of 16%. On hatching the air cell had enlarged so it was in a position from just near the top of the egg to almost two thirds down one side... -

Hi All There's been a few members on the Geese Section recently that have experienced problems with air cells, particularly in shipped eggs. Problems appear to include; detached air cells, ruptured air cells and abnormally positioned air cells located on the side of the egg instead of the...
