Ok so my duck egg has Been internally piiped for over 24 hours now should I put a small hole in the air sack?

I am now doing an experiment, I have a couple of my own eggs that I can clearly see going to be a sticky problem, so I decided to try and give them e chance..

I made a small safe hole in the gooey space, now these eggs are due next Friday, then I tried sucking some of the gooey stuff out, of course it stuck to my lips and hand etc. taste pretty Gross so I don't recommend that you eat it.

Then I took a wet cotton ball placed it on the hole and taped it with water proof tape, then place the egg so that the cotton ball is at the bottom. This way the rest of the gooey stuff can drain out. Crossing fingers that I have a solution for our sticky issue..

If you have very small hypodermic shot syringe and needle, take the needle out. There will be a 1/8 inch small point at the end. make a safe hole, like you said, but use the syringe to slowly draw out the extra fluid. You can see the color and texture as you draw it out. No nasty after taste

.
and you can see the color and texture of the fluid. the cotton and tape is an excellent idea.



Of course the idea is yours, but I added a few of my ideas along with it. Let me know how yours do, and of course I will let you know the results of mine.

You have already found the best incubation method, but between all of us, we may find the best intervention methods for sticky eggs and other problems. We could patent it, and make a few extra bucks. Wouldn't it be great if we all could retire, and make a living from our addiction. Yea! That"s the ticket!!!

O.k., I know...Silly me. But I have a dream!

I would of it was me, but that's just me .I use a push pin to make a tiny safe hole in the air space.
