Day 24 float test should i help

[shelby hayden]

I think they are doing great also definitely for shipped eggs that had detached and saddled air cells. My concern is more if it is okay to put them in earlier then day 25

I am also under going what I think might be appendicitis and if I'm not here tomorrow to put them in Hatcher that could be bad. Or it could be worse and my cancer is coming back and then it will be way longer for me in the hospital.

And me myself and I rather just Indore the pain I'm in and make sure these babies hatch. So I'm completely conflicted right now as what I should do.

But I would hate to put them in to early and something go wrong and me not be here I am a gypsy and every living thing in my eyes is way more important then anything I have going on and that will crush me.

In the gist of all things going on even if my stay is a few days should i trust putting them in the hatcher now? I just lost my iquana to bone cancer and I don't think I can take another lose definitely with this being a dieing breed that I am persistent on keeping it alive.

You can lock down early a little bit your not that early . I lock down a couple days early all the time . You need to learn to except that whatever is going to happen is going to happen . That is hatching . You do all you can and then wait to see how you did . Hope for the best work for it and if it doesn't happen then it wasn't because you didn't try hard enough .You can always set more eggs . You however you are not replaceable . Take care of you and you'll be able to better take of them .

Thank you. I really wish I had your mind set. As for me if I just wait a few days I can be here just in case.. theses are acona duck eggs and are a dieing heritage that witch I am try to just keep it alive and can't say thriving but here as apart of our world. I do this with everything I alway put everything first.. even my plants lol I'm weird I know. But that is a tree hunger for you..

I will put them in the hatcher and check them in the early am to make sure they are okay. And hopefully I want half to discharge myself due to inner gilt of them being alone if I half to stay longer. But if I do most likely I will get myself discharged as I have 10× more then just the eggs that count on me I also run my own business. And have 6 kids with a small farm that would wither away without me lol.

Shelby I'm sorry for all you are dealing with right now.

but with the eggs, trust your gut. Not a day number. Do what the eggs are telling you. If they look ready to bump the humidity, one day early isn't going to bother that. Ducks take longer to hatch anyway.
The pic in post 170 kinda looks like a quitter to me, but if you see good movement, that's great. I see some clear area without veins, maybe its just the angle, or my phone. They still have a few days to grow, but ones with a little liquid still in there tend to hatch a little wet and gooey, but not a big problem.

Hope all is well this morning!

Thank you. They are green eggs so a little harder to get the veins on the pic but they are definitely there in both eggs.

Oh good. Pics can be deceiving anyway.
