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

[TweetyNPetey]

Cool! Is hatching a robin's egg the same as a chicken egg?!

Well, pretty much. Temp has to stay at 99.8 the entire time (so that works out great since that's what I have my duck egg at), and the incubation period is average 2 weeks, but anywhere from 12-16 days

So, bad new and good news. Which do you wanna hear first? Okay, bad news. The robin egg bumped into the side of the 'bator and cracked... That stinks... I really wanted to hatch one. But I think it was infertile anyways.

Ok. Good news. I candled my duck egg, as I do every day (It's day 25) And I have an internal pip!!!!!!!! Yay!!!

I raised the humidity lots, and I will not open that bator!!! LOL.

I started a thread, where I will keep you updated.

I don't have but a minute but I have a question.

You know the cancer risks from heated plastic water bottles? well our ckn waterers get warm and even hot in the summer, can the toxins stay in chicken carcass and even their eggs?

I will get on laptop when I can to read... Happy busy Friday everyone!
