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

Ant farm,

I got five eggs from the honas today! A sign from the universe to start gathering a fresh clutch to ship and hatch all the "old" ones.

I think I just killed a chick..

I had one that was shrink wrapping so I helped it out. Good thing, I think she will make it.

I Had a toad shell that had pipped the same time, the membrane was white and drying, so I "helped unzip" it and it is bleeding. IT is a no win when to help or not, I always make the wrong choice......

I suggest that you make the correct choice next time...

Wish I could drag you over here for a bit to help out.... Flesh wounds from dogs are much more in my comfort zone... Treated a boatload of those.
I was actually going to specialize in wound care right out of school because I thrive on disgusting stuff and have a really strong stomach. But most of the wound care these days involves stage IV sacral pressure ulcers and I knew at my age my body would hold up lifting and turning all day.

I can do gross stuff with other's critters no probs.... Could do stitching if I needed to, etc... Just not my own critters. It took massive willpower just to get maples blisters popped. I know in humans that's a no-no, but they were popping by themselves and getting poop in them. :sick

The WWD does this in Hospice. She likes dressing wounds. I think she just likes to see festering yucky things so she gets ideas of what to do to poor me...
 
Not possible!!!!

Awwwww....

Tell her no, I haven't, but I will once I have duckies. I did hug a chick today, though.

Well, you've done what you can. I like your set up. Agree they may need more of a slow-down. You could put something to hang down at the gap to slow them down - just tell WWD that it's "to keep the chickens from reaching the eggs".

I had no idea. I thought I knew everything about gout.

I got four eggs form the three GNH pullets in Tank's coop today - a sign from the universe, I think, to set more of their eggs in the hope of more pullets. I think I have a LOT of boys in that group - they won't be 2 weeks old until Wednesday, and I have quite a few with reddening faces and the combs are starting to pink up.

I told abbie that - and she said "We can hatch duckies for you, or give you hatching eggs whenever you're ready for them." (if you prefer to incubate yourself)

We have khakis, 300 layers, pekin's, and a couple of mixed khaki/blue runners that are funny.

We ended up with 5 drakes out of of our 6 mixed run... never doing a mixed run again. I would have thought I'd gotten closer to 50/50.... but they gave me ALL boys.... I'm going to butcher about 4 of them, unless you wanted boys.

I could do it too, If I had on masks, and blinders so I did not have to see the yuck...and 4 pairs of glove, 3 aprons and a nose plug... It would not bother me at all.
