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

[daxigait]

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

 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...)


Good job and 

Not Bella. She is clear and nursing well. I saw them both nurse. I left them napping off to Kenpo.
The others are taped with medical bandage tape.

Lost the guy that was upside down.


I had to take out the other 2 because they were running over the top of the guy who was still in the half of his shell and didn't want them to damage him. They were sitting on his head

The boys got to go out with the does for a while tonight because I was off early. They got to play on the goat toy for the first time. It was a joy to watch.

I wish our kids were alive, but they were born two early...

They were born early january, and were about a week early. (They were so cute...)

@Fire Ant Farm if I wasn't worried about my birds being picked on for being naked necks, I could almost see the appeal.

They are tough, and stick up for themselves just fine. You know where you can get some any time...
