Congratulations on the two good ones!

Will you bin the others or give them a little longer?

 

[WRVgirl]

I binned 3 of them, left on that was darker than the others, just in case but that one will get tossed at day 10 if it's the same.

Hopefully these two little ones grow. I'm nervous since they're both saddlebag air cells.

 

[Nannette114]

Probably sensible to bin the ones you know are duds, yes.
As for saddlebag air cells, it's not impossible I don't think? I've never had any make it to hatch day but I think that was just unlucky. I've heard it can be done!
Good luck!!

Good news, Ideal Poultry is replacing the lost ducklings. We are checking into cost for having them overnighted. If it's not a huge difference I will pay extra to get them quicker and hopefully save some of the stress on them.

I just plan on keeping them upright until the evaporation process fixes the cells.

I hope so.

How are you coming along over there??

Thats great! And I think you're right that minimising the stress is a good idea too. Hopefully these will fare better too

Yes I think that's what all the advice says isn't it? You can only do your best

Over here we are day 23 so it really feels like hatch day is looming

I'm so scared and excited!!!
I really hope they hatch cos I really don't know what I'm doing ha ha

 

[WRVgirl]

Yay Nannette. Can't wait to see pics so I can live vicariously through you!

The great thing about hatching is the majority of eggs know what they're doing, we are just bystanders for the most part. Ha ha ha

I'm trying to get some work done today to keep myself busy and away from the incubator. Lol

Painted up some metal drink tumblers yesterday and they'll be fully dried and ready to get the epoxy coat on this afternoon.

I still have 3 left to paint (different colors than these) and one of my old yeti cups being painted now because I was bored of the plain green so I'm doing it the same as these!
