I think it's probably a case of without the light it got dark and they couldn't find the EcoGlow so just huddled up where they were.
I found mine will get under it just fine to sleep usually but if I turn a light on in the room and they come out, when I turn it off they shriek because they...
Ah ok, I read it as you weren't sure if they were no good. I certainly understand tossing possible egg bombs, I've never had one blow but I've had a weeper and that was quite bad enough! :sick My eggies are still going strong so I'm hoping you have ducklings very soon. :fl My chicklets are doing...
Tina, why did you remove the ones your not sure about, unless you think they are rotten I'd have left them in and just seen how they went.
Good luck with your hatch! :fl
Do not give up! Read about my eggies!
By rights these eggs should be dead but they are wriggling around in there like normal chicks. Your ducks will most likely be late but they could still be alive. Good luck! :fl
Well I have 2 more chicklets! My broody Leghorn pullet was out with 2 babies so she's now in private quarters. This is the one who chose to nest in an impossible to reach spot she's been fending for herself behind the coop. (It's enclosed but I can't monitor the eggs or confiscate new ones.) I...
I have a chick! I have a chick!
I went out to listen to the broodies (hoping for peeps) and I hear screaming baby chick! Wondering what on earth is wrong I look around trying to see where it's coming from and on the floor is an egg with a wing sticking out of it! :ep Snatched it up and the poor...
Congrats on the developing eggs! :D
On the eggs in the tray below looking good, do you have a fan in the 'bator? If not, that tray would be cooler, possibly saving the eggs if you did have a temp spike.
On the neighbors... if your allowed to have the roos remind them you and the roos were...
Well I haven't candled, since my eggs are under grumpy broodies I'm leaving them alone right now. It's the first time I haven't candled early on but I think I'll probably check them at lockdown. =)
GPS lies! Dad helped out a guy who's GPS was going to send him on a 8 1/2 hour trek to a place that was actually 4 hours away. :th
He was just off the right highway but the stoopid GPS was going to send him back the the city on a different road, only to turn around and get back on the highway he...
I've been slack! I'll get mine in shortly.
I had a surprise hatcher in my main 'bator who made a huge mess so I want to shift the eggs out into the hatcher to clean it then shift them back and add the eggs for this hatch.
I'm in! I'm hopelessly addicted to hatching, looks like I'm in good company.
I've got ladies broody everywhere so I think I'll use a few of them, my 'bators aren't too happy in the heat over here.
