Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[noahsmom]

My wife is going to kill me when she gets up. I just bought a ST. Run just 6 mind you, of Golden Laced Wyandottes!!

 

Omgosh they had 3 left at TSC and wanted to get them so bad but I refrained! Lol good luck with the wife!!

Ok. This one hatched last night it has this hanging out. Is it absorbing that?

Based on this picture, it does look like unaborbed yolk and you are doing the right thing. Keep it on warm, moist paper towel in a cup.

If it doesn't improve, be sure to update us and post another picture.

Random pictures:


Sophie! The sweetest chicken of them all! (of mine, anyway XD)

Hope sunbathing.


DOUBLE YOLKER BY HOPE!

It was delicious. :3

Happy Hope!

My hatched babies! Basil and Sophie!

Sophie looks like a half rhode island red half cochin.

Basil is probably an easter egger mix. He is definitely a boy. Lokk at those scruffly neck feathers!! They curl outwards. :3

HERRO!

wart faced more than pimples - muscovy

one of our muscovy broodies hatched 20 of 21 eggs. not bad for a first timer!!


the other has 15 eggs.

That's awesome!

ok...............SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......... HERE IS MY LETTER.... Yes I know Im a wuss, but a diplomatic wuss

and I can always still send a more forceful letter if she does not want to make things right after I have been more than nice about it, and then I wont feel bad at all no matter her reaction.... but I figured Id give her a chance

so here it is

"They did arrive and are in perfect condition..... I am however concerned about their size and the amount of poo on three of them.... They are almost half the size of my sebright bantam eggs and I have certainly never had a standard size hamburg lay such a small egg, my hamburg eggs are 3 times the size of these eggs. If these eggs are from standard size hamburgs then are they from young birds, or do your birds just lay super tiny eggs? Or could they be from bantam hamburgs? As I do not see how these could hatch and grow to a normal size... Also 3 of them have a good amount of poo on them and I am concerned about putting them in the incubator with my other eggs, for fear of contamination... So I will have to clean them which is not something I was expecting or wanting to have to do when purchasing such expensive eggs from a reputable breeder such as yourself... I came to you for these eggs because I could not find standard size citron hamburgs anywhere... but the bantam size is readily available and for much less.... Please let me know you thoughts on this, as right now I am at a loss, as I had hoped to come back to you for your Isabel Brahma eggs... but now I am worried that I would be equally disappointed in them as I am the citron hamburg eggs... to small and to dirty.... but I do know that some times crazy things can happen and that this may not be the normal quality of your eggs and I would like to give you a chance to show me that this is the case
Thank you for your time and I look forward to resolving this matter

That's awesome!

it goes to show that even beginner mutha duckas are better than any of us. some of those eggs were old - we only have 2 mama ducks and both sitting

it will be a week before pictures.

Nothing wrong with that

We have removed requests for ovations from several posts in this thread.

In the first post of our introduction of the ovations system, here, it is made clear not to beg for points. Even though the intent may not be to increase points for an individual, that will be the effect. In any case, this is a misuse of the system.
