2017 Gosling Hatch a long!!

[WRVgirl]

Well I float tested and it failed so I cracked it open and it was dead. I've no idea how old it was but it had an eye and was maybe an inch and a half in diameter. It didn't smell at all at least!
So I'm down to 4 eggs...

Oh man, that stinks. Sorry that your little baby didn't progress.

Hopefully you'll have a great hatch with the remaining 4!

I hope you get 4 beautiful babies! I need to do a water test too I think. I may decide to just keep em going and hope for the best unless they begin stinking though. The water test is just placing them in 100 degree water and seeing if the egg wiggles, right?

Hi tk10
yeah basically you look at how high it floats and if it wiggles. Here's a link to a more detailed explanation...

We are only day 3 so I'll wait until tomorrow if I can. Lol

I do need to start tilting them tonight so maybe I'll take a sneak peek tonight.

Keep us posted on how they look! And don't stress if you can't see anything yet. No panicking allowed this time ok?! ha ha

Well, Lacie's chicken eggs vanished. I wouldn't be surprised if she accidentally crushed them. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

Sorry; haven't mastered multi-quote on mobile yet. Lol

I think I saw something in a few eggs, but definitely a blood ring in one of my ones that I thought was going to grow.

We should have a better idea tomorrow night of what's what.

Thanks for the pic. I think it's too early to tell really. I've stared and stared at your pic but I can't tell one way or the other.
I agree you should try again after a little while
