Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Lacrystol]

Alright I'm done. I am no longer buying call eggs. Swaps, and live ducklings/pairs from now on.

My last purchase tied the knot. SQ eggs off eBay, AND there was a heat pack RIGHT UNDER THE EGGS. They were just as warm to touch as my eggs in the bator!!! I threw them right in the bator, I seriously hope they are ok.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT?!

Ugh.

Tammy has anyone claim your eggs on that swap page yet? If not I will. Need something to put me in a Better mood >.<

ouch sounds like they did it because they check the temp in your area and wanted them to have the best success as possible. OUCH though

Lol I am in Florida. It has been HOT the past couple days.

Ah ok, I candled some eggs and on one you can see the yolk inside, looks all dark, but all the others are clear so didn't know if I should use that egg...

was the egg from a free ranger? usually free ranging eggs are a little darker in color...

LOL, well what about where they came from?? perhaps it was cold in he's area and he was taken procautions...

Ok the yolk maybe darker because of that, I would throw it in and give it a shot...

I don't know how people incubate their call eggs at 30-40% humidity. I have 2 that have internally pipped and they look almost as bad as Lori's did with the fan incident. I just can't keep humidity down with all this rain we've been having. I haven't added a drop of water and still humidity has been in the upper 20s to high 30s. Uggg. I hope they make it out. I will be there to help as soon as they start zipping. They're not actually due until Monday but everything I put in this incubator seems to hatch a day early. Will watch for external pips and be up all night waiting for zipping if I have to

I hear ya lady. I dry incubate too and have the same problem, it still runs 30-40%.

I put a stuffed Gorilla in my ducklings box and they didn't poop on him at first but after a few days they suddenly did. Maybe my next ones wont, I hope so! Very cute ducklings!
