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

[The Duck Ladie]

My recent egg purchase arrived like this:

And they were double boxed.

I can only assume that Ralphie intercepted them and stomped on the box assuming that they were DUX eggs

Edited to say these were NOT from Ralphie incase anyone misunderstood - he would never send dux eggs and pretty sure his shipments are protected by magical powers anyway so arrive in perfect condition.

So sorry. I will never buy shipped eggs for this reason. My own or a locals eggs and that is it

Well that certainly changes where I'm planting them.

I'm trying to post a video. Not sure if it worked or even if it's the right one. I would like opinions on about how far along this development is. Please and thank you!

I can't I don't know ducks.

Edited to say. Whenever I do assist chicks they usually get culled later due to heath or size issues. Really hard not to assist though

Glad you made it home in one piece.

Thanks!

Well I have a question for everyone. She's made her hole a little bigger, and I see her moving, but she's not unzipping. It's been almost 24 hours since she pipped. The membrane she pushed out with her pip is dryed. I do not want to assist unless I need to, but When is that?

if it starts to lose activity
read the guide to assisted hatching
