➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

You’re sure it’s alive? I’m trying to understand how it wouldn’t have drowned with no air cell at the pipping stage and all that fluid.

Yea I can see it moving should I open it up and drain the liquid?

That leg stretch makes me giggle every time. They are too cute. So glad they’re doing well; I have learned that hatches are exciting but stressful.

And good morning all! I can say that because it’s before noon.

My chicks from ideal should be hatching today, I think.

Mine too

I'm not cooking today. My mom is making Carne asada tacos and we're all heading over there to massacre her kitchen. I'm hoping I can catch the roosters to take to her.

I decided to go with fajita meat tacos. I don't know what it's called in English. Birds Spanish for that matter.
Tacos but not with ground meat. Fajita meat cut up small and cooked in a little water til it's very tender.

I need some quick advice. Ok so the quail egg is still making no progress in except for the external pip (remember it has no air sac so it's internal pip is the external pip as well) should I break away at the shell where the chick started cracking it to see what's going on? It also looks like the chick started zipping about a day ago because the crack is longer then an external pip crack. The chick is still alive at the moment I just don't know what to do or how long to wait since I've never dealt with an egg with no air sac...

I'm thinking I would start to slowly pick away some shell to get a better look.

I’m not even providing a heat lamp. I’m going to see how they do without any added heat (95f days, 75f nights). If they look too hot I can bring them in, and if they look too cold I have a heating pad I can provide.

I’m HOPING it will be just right for them and a fuzzy object will be enough for heat/comfort.

They will be fine with no added heat. I promise!
