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

[cochins1088]

Sally, congratulations on the button quail! That's a great hatch rate!

I candled tonight which would be day 3. All of the white eggs are definitely developing as well as the light brown eggs. The rest I couldn't see into.

I like day 3 or 4 candlings because I love watching the tiny little heart beats.

DH is doing really good, not too much of a crybaby. unless I touch him, then its ooooo aaaaaa blabbbabbb blabbbaaa

He knows he better not cry too much, he has little holes in his belly compared to me, when I had Emerg C section cut from belly button down and he wouldn't get up to help me up when the baby was crying OR even get the baby! Stubborn me, just cried and did what I had to do. I hated him back then, he had serious mean issues. But so over that now, but I NEVER FORGET, so he can MAN UP now! HA! told ya..... it always comes back to ya in some shape or form, good or bad!

I kept meaning to post that I was praying for him, but I kept forgetting. Anyways, I'm glad that everything went well.

Quote: Good with the water in the bator, it just looks like that, only water in is the marbles and they are doing well. I have since removed (FAST) all the sponges and dishes, cept that tiny waterer and the napkin with feed. They are doing AMAZING, I was going to move them to a brooder, but since the ducks are lockdown in the cooler I don't have to move them, so they are staying put until tomorrow sometime, when I figure out what to do. I just chucked a huge box, now I wish I had kept it! my bator wont fit in the brooder box, but I will figure something out.

They are so cute I cant stop looking at them, and they do look like a bunch of honeybees and move like them too, buzzing all around in circles and each other in and out and sooooo cool! I LOVE THEM!!

No, not since I make it thicker, see the images I posted it actually puffs up and sorta see cracks running on the top like a loaf or something.... just add more feed to the top portion and next time mix it a tad thicker, it will take a little but you will get it!

Ancona Duck Update,

Oz, I did the hole drill, when I checked them last night, ALL of them but one is internally pipped, with no Externals. So I will put this to the test with them. 16 internal pips 16 tiny holes. the one without a internal pip obviously was malpositioned, and I know his chances were slim, so I opened the top and gently found his wing and pulled is head up. HIS HEAD WAS HUGE, no wonder he couldn't turn!
Not sure if he will make it, I didn't get a single drop of blood, so its all up to lung acclimation and prayers! He is so cute too!

16 internal pips getting air, sounds awesome, but PRAY FOR DUCKIES NOW PLEASE!!!! the eggs have been rolling around since Monday! they are all chirpin up a storm to each other! shhhhweeeeettttt

THANK GOD for a great day in everyway!
