Yes if he gets his foot feathering back! 

He is a unique boy for sure! thanks!

don't some chickens lose their foot feathers from ranging? That's what I've ready about silkies, they don't need grooming/bathing if their foot feathers if they range. The scratch them offm

Yum sausage!! and you may have a point.

However, when this issue began was when I started hatching again, during winter, freezing cold ever since Thanksgiving, and I had been running typical and keeping humidity above the 18% mark usually in the 25/28 range as I typically have done and I started to have really bad small air cells, so I ended up removing all water in the next few hatches and they have gotten better, but its still an issue.

Active is alive! alive is good!

So it seems that none from the first batch are doing anything besides 1 and 2 they came from a diff person. And in the second group many are doing good.

I think I see veining in 20.

I'm on day 16 for my shipped eggs. I have 10 left out of 20. I've pulled 3 clears, 1 seeping and at day 14, 6 tiny quitters. What causes a quitter? These are the disturbing ones. My humidity has gone up and down just a little and temps stay the same all the time.
I'm not going to candle again.
My 4 Jap eggs seem to be fine.

A lot of those eggs look really good, fox!
Can't wait for hatch day for you!

Sonoralinda, it could be from the egg being scrambled in transit or a weak embryo.

Oh, and I woke up to a pip this morning! Here's the picture! It's already bigger now than it was before!

I havent a clue, all the others keep them! he isnt fully grown in as a roo yet, so I pray he is just loosing and regaining!

I think I see veining in 20.

Thank you Sally. #1&2 are Ancona ducks and are very alive. I think you are spot on. And yes 20 had veining.None stink. So should I pull all the clears or leave them as heat sinks?

Quote: if they dont stink you can leave them, I always chuck mine, but I dont have to worry about stable temps in my bators, you have to think of your bator first!

I left all of my infertile in until I removed the egg turner. Even then, one snuck past me and I removed it the next day lol.
