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

[DwayneNLiz]

I may have 2 goose eggs!!!!

But I don't know because my ducks are fatties and my this would be my pair's first lay! I got the ok to hatch them

the others right now are teenage raptor monsters with T-rex wings

wish my goose would do something other than honk at me and follow me around.

LOL

We can go to as many feed stores and pet stores as you want, as long as all of the animals stay at your house.

Math is hard.
"Do we have enough time to go to Petco tonight?"


Oh! I need more geese too!

LOL
yes you do!!!

Looks like I lost the quote (Dax?) asking what the chicks will look like. They will look something like this, if I'm lucky:

24 hours from time of pip

One of them was stuck upside down - another was sideways. I was able to hatch 2 out, successfully, while I helped the others because of their positioning, they would have died. One was completely upside down and had no air hole, would have died in shell. May still die, because it put it's beak through a blood vessel..... we shall see.

2 are resting, half in shell, half out - the other has it's beak out now, but that's the one that was mid-shell. The one that will most likely die was completely upside down, and there was like ZERO chance of it living with out me giving it some air. :/

They are all pretty weak due to the power outage for 24+ hours of heat, and the shells are hard as rocks because my birds definitely do not lack calcium. LOL

Given the power situation, I was happy with 2/4 at least 4/4 made it to lock down.

Good job!!

Good job!!

I had no intention of helping these guys. I barely turned them, didn't care about humidity, I was abusive to these ones, I was just checking fertility.... but the buggers made it all the way to lock down.... so I couldn't let them die without at least trying since they were determined to hatch up until this point.

Is this one of the ones with taped teats for CAE? Did that go ok? (Curious - what do you actually use to tape the teats? I've been trying to figure it out...)
