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

[BullChick]

Pee in the hall. Pee on the porch. Pee on the bathroom floor, potty seat, pants, and feet.
It's been a wet day, and that was the easy part!

Duck egg or dirty leghorn egg? Not in the nest box, it was buried in the hay where the scovies have been hanging out.

I just got done with a bad hatch. Here is a picture of an eggtopsy. Does anybody know what is going on? It seems fully developed to me. Maybe malpositioned.

Our fabulous babysitter died of cancer. She was only 26.

After that the kids did not want another babysitter and 'sat eachother'

Oh my, how very sad.

SOMOENE STOP ME FROM PUTTING EGGS IN MY INCUBATOR... I have such staggered hatchings, my birds keep hatching every 2-3 days, because none of them were put in the same time. ROFL

My turkeys keep hatching, 1 at a time every few days. I've got 4 in the incubator now, 1 silkie, 1 EE, and 1 little cochin that hatched two days ago?

Sorry, that's not what we do here.

GOOD MORNING, AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER DAY OF RAIN!

Hello Abi!

The chick that hatched yesterday died this morning

I think it was just abnormally small.

I'm sorry.

Maybe duck, but looks small for it.

Can you take more pictures? Did it absorb it's yolk?

It did absorb most of it. I can't get anymore pictures.

The perfect waterfowl egg:

Maybe it is just me but it looks more like a chicken egg then duck...

Tragic day.
The police shot and killed a 15 year old student at my sons high school early this morning.
He had called 911 and said a minor (himself) needed help.

He had a BB gun, and police shot and killed him because he would not put it down.
