Could we use works of others on Backyard Chickens. Such as

Candling Pics: Progression Through Incubation Of Chicken Eggs

Silkiechicken did a progression chart I used a very long time ago.

Good morning everyone!

-Kathy

Good morning!

Goooood morning!

@Sally Sunshine
sorry about your dog, glad the goats burped for you.

I want to candle my geese eggs... any chance you think I'd see any development by now, since I put them thursday night?

Not in goose eggs. Chicken eggs are hard enough.

dang woman, not sure how to treat that one, anything with enlargedness heads to the doc here

I am not going there.

she is, just sucks thank you

cool mug!!! @MotorcycleChick

I thought he was just saying "here is my coffee. Good morning, people!"

Ok, this might be pic heavy, however I candled again this morning, and see a big difference. Now I am thinking it maybe day 15-16? Honestly, I don't know what draw down looks like. I will look it up and see.
I am putting the pics of yesterday and today. See the difference?
YESTERDAY:

Ok, what day do you think it's on now?
Thanks everyone.

I think it is on today.

Since I have not seen it said, and I don't think I have mentioned it yet, when you see the pip (internal or external) you can up the humidity. It isn't something to be afraid of. I understand why the chick is important to you.
Do you have a plan for the lone chick? Set up a brooder with a mirror and stuffed animal or feather duster. The hanging mirrors for regular bird cages work. They usually have toys on them, and that is a plus. You can wrap the baby up in a washcloth (lined with a paper towel is better) and carry it around with you. Bra babies are common.

Hmmm, methinks I need to set more eggs.....


I have 7-14-18 candle images, but they mighta been added already? Gonna go check

Yes! Set more eggs!

MC, what did Ocap do?

He "got me".

 

[campingshaws]

I'm emptying the brooder today! Rarity the silkie is well-beyond her quarantine and the mixed silkie chicks have been off heat for quite awhile. They're draining the jar waterers a few times a day, and the tractor is finally empty, so time to move!

 

[meltel]

Seeing the nationals would be a grand experience.

I would love to have my hearing back again to make the trip worth while.

but everyone sounds like this

We just had the ASA Nationals-thats where my birds won-Fowlfest 2016 lol. Thats the great thing about seramas-when a good bird hits the table, the "show" and peoples expressions say it all! you can tell when a bird is going to win! the crowd goes wild the bird "dances" and flaps & crows-its really a beautiful sight! and there are times you can cut the silence with a knife! I will see if I can get my friends to video tape Ohio to show you what I mean. I'm sorry about your hearing-its hard to put myself in that spot but my husband is practicing "selective hearing" when it comes to all my birds lol

 

[lovechicks1293]

Good morning everyone-and special good morning to Ducking and Spider
