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

[BullChick]

would love to stay here and yak more, but animals are a calling

I went out just after you, and I am back already!
Of course, you have a horse (of course of course. And no one can talk to a horse, of course!)

My 2-3 am adventures:

I candled and only these three had any signs of life. The partially open one hadn't made any progress since 10 pm so I picked away a bit more shell.


I watched it struggle for a while; it was pushing, not turning. So I broke the cap and made sure it wasn't stuck, then put it back. Possible malpo?


Slowly pushed itself all the way free, clearly ready to be hatched. I had to move the yellow one to the brooder because it was going for the hatchling's eye and I didn't want any damage.

Yes! I hope you get more. It is luck you got up. I would have slept through.

DH is a night owl and he came to bed at 2am. When he did he asked a question about the cat, and I woke up. Then I just kept thinking about it. :/ so I got up.
