Chickens are sooo much easier...lol

Okay so it's day 21 and I think the air cells are good (do you all agree?) also their not moving as much, still are but not as often as before. I'm assuming that's because their much fuller and it's just harder to see. Lockdown is this Saturday! Hope all goes well

Also one more question I forgot to ask. One of the eggs has what looks like a blood blister in one of the veins. It's still moving. Should I be concerned about that?

They may be a tad small, but with a week to go I wouldn't be overly concerned.

No, if you're talking about what I think you're talking about, I see it often. Blood clot is what comes to mind when I see it.

I know I shouldn't candle the eggs but it's day 25 and still no pips. So I wanted to see and make sure everyone was good. I see some by the air cell but still no internal pip yet. Their call ducks so they only take 26 days. Should I be concerned?

If you're seeing movement at the air cell that's good. I do know from my call hatching friends that calls often need help because of shortened bills. We have a couple experienced call hatchers on the hands on hatching and help thread that are very knowledgeable and love to help. Feel free to pop in on the thread and ask anything or get opinions or share your concerns and they will be happy to help if they are on.

Do you think I should help them even if I still see some yolk?

No!

Your best bet would be to jump over to the hands on thread and talk to the girls there. I don't know how early into the hatching process they start assisting, but you definitely need to give them time to absorb the yolk and for the vascular system between bird and egg to shut down.

No!

Okay that's what I thought
