Conure incubation

[SilverBirds]

@SilverBirds Yes one hatched but I lost 4 now have 2 remaining

So sorry to hear. What day are they on? Are they under a hen or in an incubator?

@SilverBirds Incubator. Day 21. I have not locked them down. I don’t see the cell draw down or any internal pips on either of them.

Should I move them into the hatcher with same humidity, mainly just to stop the turning on them?

I think lockdown should have been day 18, so you need to put them in lockdown now. What is your humidity and temp?

Will you be hand rearing the chicks?

oh my! Okay locking down now. Could that be why the others died? The turning kills them?

45.9% and 99.1

Yes this is our baby, born yday

The hatcher has 65.4% and 98.6

That's probably why the others died, but how do you know they died?

I would say the baby is cute but that wouldn't be entirely true. He will be though! Do you have experience hand rearing?

No movement, dark red veins, and the eggs get an odd color to them. Left them in for a day, then did an eggcropsy.

Haha I know they look like gremlins at this stage. Their ugly phase lol. Yes I do
