Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Lacrystol]

So not call ducks but my emu eggs are in my old stryafoam incubator while I get my fridgebator all set up and the temp in there has fluctuated greatly! It is supposed to be 97 for emus and at one point was at 93 and at another 104. Do you think they are ok? They only stayed at those high/low temps for maybe 2 hrs tops.....

104 for 2 hours is 2 hours to long.

NEED THE CALL DUCKS you know that moment when you look at call ducks on google and your like why are these not in my life

I don't know, hun. :/ All I do know is that foam bator is bad news bears.

I would have to disagree. SORRY I love my hover bator

Styrofoam bators are NOT bad news! I love my Hovabator! Speak for yourself but not generally!

LOL OUCH, I love mine too and my first home made bator was made of syrofoam each time 100, they aren't bad news bears, it all on the user. if the right adjustments are made they work perfectly fine..

Amy what kind of bator do you use?

OK I think this is more of a preference. I prefer hover's I wouldn't turn to any other kind, you turn to brinsea, I think we are all right as long as we all can get them to accomplish the EXACT same thing and that is BABIES, we are all RIGHT.

I was referring to Angovem's specifically, something in which you have yourself personally made many disparaging statements towards. You have an opinion, and I have mine. I see no point in continuing to poke fun at others for having one. I fail to see what can be accomplished by both you and Amanda ganging up on people like myself and 18Angovem for disagreeing when we both have equally valid, if not contradictory, evidence to back those opinions up.

As for the type of bator, I use an Rcom, it's never steered me wrong. All three eggs currently in it are developing very nicely, as did all three from last year's hatch. So did the three chicken eggs I helped hatch for a friend last year. On the other hand, the three eggs in my styrofoam bator died. Just like the five eggs I had two years ago all died. That's what preempted me to buy the more expensive Rcom in the first place. That's why I do not trust still-air styrofoam bators. That is merely my experience. I don't really see why that has to be a point of contention in this thread.

All six of my Perdy's eggs in the incubator are thriving! Today is day nine for her babies!

And, she has her other seven outside with her in their coop! The seventh was laid only a couple hours ago! Praying she starts setting today or within the next couple days!

Amanda, please calm down, girl! Yikes!

Foam bators are typically not the best quality, especially if they're still-air like his is. Double especially if they're older like his is! That doesn't mean you can't have a good hatch rate with a foam bator, that's been proven, otherwise no one would ever buy 'em. But it can make getting a good hatch rate more difficult, especially over time since styrofoam isn't the sturdiest of materials, it will break down over time. And I repeat, even more so if it's still air! But in Angovem's case he's had bad hatches with it in the past, and now he's having history repeat itself with the emu eggs I don't think it's hyperbolic to state that in this instance, the bator is faulty. Okay? Can you please put the pitchfork down now?

Oh, by the way Goose/Mitch, building on our last convo a few pages back, I got more proof that bunnies are evil! See, what'd I tell ya? Hehe!

WAIT a minute, I must give me THREE CENTS here. hang on this is going to be a LONG ONE
