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

[Sally Sunshine]

I think I seen an internal pip on the ducks, I lost track of what day it is, dont care when they come, just so they hatch!
most are showing no sign of draw down, big or little eggs

Now we wait and see what they do, I wont open the bator, I wont I wont I wont open the bator

One of my silkie eggs got crushed by my stupid finger!
What does one do in this sort of situation? Depends on the severity of the crack? Only the one seeing it can know how bad it is?

somebody once posted that you kill a chick every time you open the bator.

I am not sure that that is exactly accurate but the more handling, the more damage. We have probably all dropped an egg - i dropped mine onto the tray of eggs and took out 4.

I really try and only have the eggs handled twice during incubation - day 10/11 and day of lock down
