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

[The Duck Ladie]

She is trying to push way more shell it seems but is making no progress.

She is still trying but still no progress. She's been in the same spot for at least 30 minutes. What do you think?

Glad to see you've got all your ducks in a row

Well, that's easy when I've only got one, isn't it?

You have just one dux too many..

I had to come in, been outside working it is getting so hot I can't handle the heat anymore today.

Time to rest and re-hydrate after working in the sun. I think it got to 62. I am not ready for this heat this early!

Hang tough, Ralph, you can make it if you try.... Oh and BTW I could use about 20 of those degrees....

You have just one dux too many..

Soon it will be five too many.

She accepted all except my silkie chick. So my poor silkie chick is in the brooder by itself until a few more babies hatch out.

Bummer. :-( When that happened to me I took one of the hen's chicks and put it in the brooder with the rejected chick to keep it company. But yours sounds like it will have company soon!

30 minutes is like 10 minutes in baby dux minutes..relax and see what happens...

Unless you want advice on helping it to the happy duck hunting grounds in the sky...
