Okay kind of stupid question, but I've seen that you need to watch the air sac? Exactly WHAT needs to be watched and what does it look like? I have two mystery duck eggs (either silver appleyards or welsh harlequins OR saxonys) and tomorrow is day 25. I also have about 12 Anconas due to hatch on various days next week and after. Thanks for any help. I can see the two moving so know they are alive!

OK any loose air cells? Did you check before you put them in????

Are you wing it or following my method??

Not winging it. I did that last time.

Air cells look good for the most part. I had one broken egg, but I honestly think it was broken prior and he just didn't notice - had some slight cracks and what looked like when you make a safe hole at the end. I let them all rest and everyone else looks pretty good.
Rixe came out of a messy air cell. Even though it came around with some rest it was still pretty dipped from the start of incubating.

OK any loose air cells?  Did you check before you put them in???? What is a loose air cell? And is it damaging to the embryo?

Uh sorry my question posted in the middle. What is a loose air cell and is it damaging to the egg?

I set 24 call eggs into the incubator yesterday too. Let them rest for about 10 hours. Most air cells are detached so I set them blunt end up and am rocking them back and forth instead of rolling them. Any other suggestions? Hopefully they will be ok.

My one lonely egg from my prior batch is still growing and seems to be doing well so far. At day 10 for HER (fingers crossed). I told her this morning about my birthday today so she has to keep growing strong. Never would have imagined that at 34 I would be talking to and praying over eggs lol

I'm sure Lacrystol will come back at some point and explain it. I tried to explain it but when I reread it, it confused me lol.

HUMM can you show me EXACTLY where you said or talked about the Air Cells? OH and where exactly does it say you put them IN?? HUM, I see you said you got some but hell, We've all got some, but I don't see where you said THE PROCESS HAS BE GONE????


SO THERE SISTER!!!

 

[Starkasm]

lol I didn't post about air cells. I tried to explain it like I'm typing right now and when I reread it, it was so confusing, I deleted it and didn't post it!

Thus why I told her to hang tight and you'd come along....
