EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Chaos18]

chaos, those brown pellets that you were finding are not hamster eggs

Raisins?

X2, I got one from my turkey pen yesterday. Never got one from them before so it was weird.
I used to have a hen, she was a SLW, who routinely laid sod eggs. It actualy became a thing with her, at least once a week, sometimes as often as every 3 eggs. She moved on to a new home but it was the strangest thing. She always had access to oyster shell too.
I thought about trying that, just to see what would happen. But id want to do it in its own incubator and I think humidity would probably have to be pretty high.


Speaking of hatching, my broody was off her nest this morning to grab some breakfast and I checked her eggs. 3 of 4 are peeping! We may be seeing babies tonight or tomorrow!

Do you know how "cool" it would be to see one actually hatch, you might be able to see the development through a soft shell. I'm not sure how you'd "turn" it though with out ripping the shell apart.

Do you think a circle of tape would work? Make a "t", then carefully lay the egg down, wrapping it securely? I'd say try a plastic egg too. Or... gently slide it into half of a shell. Hmm

Makes you want to see what's possible now, huh?

Yeah

Maybe you'd get a chick without skin or feathers

Lots of new skin bandage

I think it would be hard to hatch, Humidity would have to be so high the chick drowns, I think.

Turning would be no problem lay it in an egg carton and just tilt the carton back and forth, up and down without touching the egg.

Maybe liquid bandage over the entire shell, or clear nail hardener.

I just went down and looked in the hatcher..


I have 3 new Dominques!!
