He even helps me collect eggs.... then eats them Hes a good dog... Dumb as a box of rocks missing a few but still a good boy.
Would like to report that I now have my second pip. One the right end of the egg
Isis has made no progress and is still in the same position. C'mon little girl you can do it!
One duckling is hatching a day before lock down
Mad dash made to make it humid enough. Pipped at wrong egg and hit a vein. But no bleeding and larger pip has been created. I even got the ip cam up and running to watch her.

What sweeties!! LOVE your mystery Chick! I can't wait to see what mine turn out to be. EE roo over EE's, speckled sussex, brown leghorns, and cuckoo marans!
That is quite the mix you are going to have. I love my mutt chicks they are just so darn cute. Not to mention the guessing...
Its been almost a week since the Duck egg got cracked and it is still growing nicely. All other eggs are right on track and set for their 4/23 hatch date. I can't believe its almost time.
Good luck everyone on your hatches
Don't forget to post pics.
My 5 Pekin eggs are still going strong.
But we had a tragic incident the other night. While candling my flashlight lost power so I turned around to get new batteries and my dumb dog Gus stole and egg. I yelled at him and he dropped it and cracked it. Nothing was leaking so I waxed that...

Why do we have to have another...
Just remember to wash your hands before touching the eggs. Also you might not see a lot on day 5 so don't be scared if you can't tell whats going on. Wait till day 8-10 and you will be able to tell who is developing and who is not. Check out that great sticky thread at the top for great info...
Actually my guys just hatched Friday-Sat I got 5 out of 7 to hatch. I am now on to my 5 Pekin duck eggs and one Dewlap African Goose egg sleeping away in the bator. I wasted no time in getting the second set going.

Can anyone help me here?
Wait till day 8-10 to candle if you haven't done it before. This way you have a better chance of seeing the veins. Most don't have a high power light to candle with so seeing something in 3 days is pretty much impossible and if you don't know exactly what you...
