Very welcome! Good luck! And sorry, @charlt83 for hijacking your thread! :hide

Couple days at least... the one might have been early... drawdown like that usually happens a couple days before they hatch, give or take...

I can't guarantee they'll hatch, but will keep :fl for you and them!

I'd leave that one, just in case... looks like it has drawn down for hatching, maybe? Keep an eye on it...

Looks gone, sorry... :( If you twist it (jiggle it back and forth) and the dark parts slosh, its gone...

Anytime... just wish I had better news for you... for future, if zipping takes longer than an hour they may need assistance if it's what you're willing to do...

Oh, no! I'm sorry!! You tried though... Yes... I have no doubt it's gone by now, but best to make sure than to toss one still alive... it's not pleasant, but it's how we learn... :/

Looks like it might've been sticky gooey... go ahead and pop the top off to make sure it's not still alive...

Unfortunately, that sounds like they're DIS... gone already... :( This is what a bill in the air cell looks like, internal pip... were these your own eggs, bought or shipped?

Did you candle them? Look for shadowing or bills in the air cells...

Oh, no! I am so sorry!! :(

Yes... it works best if you use a bowl in the sink to dip and hold them in while keeping their heads out... if they're super sticky or dried hard, the soaking will help and you can gently rub of crud with your fingers... make sure the water is about 90°F though, you want it close to their body...

If he is dry, go ahead and move him to the brooder... the greasy look sounds like he was a bit sticky when he hatched, it'll fluff out once he gets his feet under him and starts grooming... if it's really bad you can gently rinse him off in warm water just don't get it in his nares and dry him...
