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

More pics:


Maddy (the white rock) and Mary Ann (the barred rock)

Maddy (PUFF BALL TAIL) Maddy is vary hyper, but very shy as well.

Mary Ann is more of the mom figure to Maddy, she is also kind of skittish, but not nearly as much as Maddy.

WHAT?!

Are you all talking about the brooder heat things from brinesa? I have wondered about them. Pretty sure I will just stick with my old fashioned heat lamp with a dimmer switch.

yes!

Good news. The last one that hatched is doing great and is now in the brooder. I have another one almost out. Should have two more by morning. They are both trying to get out. This was the three that I thought had a chance. The other 7 that aren't close are still alive and we are keeping ointment on the inner membrane through the pip holes I created. I have finally got the heat up at a consistent 102. Keeping high humidity.

how do they look this am Doug? how were umbilicals ok?

I am caught up and ready for Sasslly to come back......
I'm thinkin she may ask me a trick question and I want to be ready

sorry! I passed out! and had coops to do this am!

OK SALLy SUMI all you knowlegable ppl ....question....
When eggtopsying an egg..... Can there be blood and red veins and it NOT be alive?

I had some eggs hatched not many though out of about 40 an dont know why still dont..perfect everything...Only guess is early on in incubating i took all the old water out as it hadnt been changed due to overlapping incubating in i dont know when although the bator looked clean. didnt hatch in it ever.
Low hatch rates ..maybe that?. Anyway left othereggs in for 3 more days past ht6ch date ...nothing. Tapped no peep tapped again nothing...opened at the air cell red blood oozed on some or/ and some red veining!!
. Touched these chicks in the egg..no movmement looked at them no breathing. Thru some out.
DID have one after opening about 15 that peeped He went back in the bator and all the other eggs about 6 that i hadnt opened back in
.He was a later dated chick not the ones im speaking about .
Ok Today 2 days more went by i take out the same eggs now its like 7 days past hatch...opened them 3 had blood again! no movement none to the touch either, cold to the touch but red veins and drop of blood!!
. Put 2 back in bator with wet paper towel .
Sad and Confused if i killed them or worse thru out live chicks Can there be red blood and red veins and them be DEAD?
Were they dying so no movement what so ever and cold ? or ??

if they recently died the will have the red blood and I really don't know, perhaps you caught them just after death? if the are alive and you pull heads up they will at least open beaks and try the first breath, are you sure they ddint drown from high humidity? so sorry : (

oohh .. candled a bit ago ... 7 yes 7 out of 11 viable and growing .... one is a maybe that i left in ... the other 3 were obviously clear and porous and nada happening so went ahead and pulled them ....
sadly my duck eggs were a bust ... the one that had possible veining with closer inspection it was very fine cracks that were inside and not showing on the outside... oh vay !!! so i went ahead and tossed them as well seeing as they were all clear too and quite a few were already a little odiferous (sp??) so decided to give up on that idea ....
but im ok with that was a very long shot anyway ... 2 more mallards are coming next thurday and ma the duck has a younger man in there with her so one day later on i should be able to hatch more pekins too !!!!

yay and sorry about the duck bust : (
