ok here goes a story, perhaps this is the real reason you don't candle or touch your eggs during lockdown....
two marans in the bator, I put them in lockdown last night because I knew I had a full house today. I didn't candle as the DH was messing with wiring in the lower level and it was too bright. so I decided to do it quick since the baby and some kiddos left. Well I get the egg out as I am reaching for the flashlight little luke grabs the light from me as I am balancing the egg to candle and splat, not that I am real tall for a large drop, however this is an egg right? uggggg tile floor even worse. I couldn't feel movement, the embryo actually feels very tiny to me, which is weird and it still holds ALOT of water in it. I put a towel around the broken part and put it in the bator. I cannot believe that outer membrane is still intact! I don't expect it to live if it is still alive, but I don't have anything better to try to save right? Now where is that "WHAT TO DO WITH A DROPPED EGG at DAY 18" article??????? I cant seem to find any help! I know I am wacked but lucas is devastated and if anything he still thinks its alive in there and give him time to forgive himself.








The number 1 cause of non hatched eggs this last time was me!!

Quote: I love them! I have a papers AKC APR and ACA lol ohhhh and I forgot.... a ton of newspapers because last 6 pups I went through a tractor trailer load of used papers! OMGAWD.... I am thinking about another "shed conversion" (I so need that pole building, but I don't see it in my future any more) anyways, making a sleeping area in the shed with a little door for them to go out to potty that is fenced on the driveway stone. EASY poo clean up and cleaner pups, they wont be a white as the last litter as this new mom has a ton of brown and tan, but the white puppies were black gray pups last time from the newspaper, the poor things. THANK GOD it will be summertime with pups!
 
OH MY GAWD !!! THAT EMBRYO IS FREAKING ALIVE!!!!

Harmony was right!!! and YES I AM SCREAMING !!! Unbelievable!!!

HUMPTY DUMPTY IS MOVING!!! and boy can you see it without the shell on the lower portion!!

there are NO tears or rips and I purposely kept the papertowel dry so that the membrane stays tough, I figured wet it would weaken..... thoughts?
I am now in alert save the chick mode! unbelievable! I must video tape!! but I will wait to see if it lives until tomorrow first!!!!!

THIS MAY GET INTERESTING!! HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!! Its moving!!!! Holy broken marans egg!

Quote: HUMPTY, no shell is Still ALIVE!!! MORNING Day 19.... He actually moved the egg out of its little paper towel nest sometime last night, and that blood looks just like a dot on the dry towel. They entire back side of shell is gone he is sitting on. I sure "isn't" gonna mess with him! I know I am gonna get even more excited and then the little dumpty will croak on me at hatch day. I am amazed, holy crow its actually still alive.

"This is an amazing story" you know we have quite a few of them on this thread for sure, highlight's are the many yolkers that live, frozen eggs, and on and on. It would be cool to go read again and laugh from the beginning of the thread. I would never make it though! HA!
