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

[Phage]

Me thinks you worry too much - or candle too much.
What day is the egg on?
A professional incubation company says not to spin the egg or turn it when candling.

I can't imagine the chalazae breaking because it is so flexible and springlike.

Ain't worrying, I just wanna know why and how much. Don't really care about the egg one way or t'other, just something funny I noted.

Candle too much, quite possibly. It's just fun.

It's day 3-ish? Was under a broody so not sure when she got really serious.

I turned it about 3 cm to the right and then to the left. Didn't spin it, just shifted it enough to see that it had a rather large range of motion. If that hurts it, than normal turning is gonna kill it real quick, you'd think?

Thanks.

Sounds normal to me.
But yea When hand turning recommendation is to alternate direction (not spin) which puts tension on the chalazae.

Dear Dax and MC

I agree that it is important to take advantage of each person's individual strengths, but that shoud be regardless of gender.

Not sure I understand what you mean by "making men into women" and "women not being content with who they are".

Few men I know drive a truck and physically work as hard running a small farm like you Dax. Does that "make you into a man" because you do activities that are traditionally men's roles?

Men can't breast feed or have babies so what activities "make men into women" and what is it that make women "should be content with who they are"?

Do you mean that women should get paid less than men for the same job?

I saw some woman on TV sayin that because "women like that their man earns more that they do, and that is how it should be"

People say these things about gender roles but don't qualify them. Please educate me!!!

I really wasn't talking about careers or the choices like that. I was referring to the fact that somehow in our culture today we have a lot of problems with either gender fulfilling traditional roles or being more classically masculine or feminine. It is like a lot of other areas where we swing radically one way or the other instead of finding a middle ground where some people are traditional and some people go the other direction. Also there are distinct differences in how men and women think even use their brain, and while there are some people that cross that boundary there are many that don't. These perspective differences should not be lost to or made wrong by those people who seem to think we should all be the same or are all the same when that is clearly not the case.

Think of a women sharing how she just really her favorite shirt. Most men would suggest how to fix it, where most women would sympathize this varies but it's generally true and is not wrong it is just a difference.

Thanks for your response. Men and women do for sure think differently, but still not sure if I understand your original statements any better. Anyway this is probably not the forum to pursue this.

Have a great day and don't work too hard!!

Hmm, question on that? If I embed them in a spolier will they still show on the feed of recent images? I will try to hold off on posting until I get confirmation. Not trying to expose anyone to something they dont want to see.

They will, but anyone wussy enough to be mentally scarred over an eggtopsy needs 'help'. Just my opinion.

Fair enough, being a host of thread I will take your guidance.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

This one didnt externally pip and doesn't seem as far along as the first. Pics seemed to load in reverse order but is the blob of white stuff in the last pic of concern? Also should the fluid in the first pic be disclored yellow or clear. It doesnt show up well in the pic but it was almost like there were 2 different parts of the albumen(?)

This one appears to be the earliest quitter out of the 4. Fluid was extremely disclored and smelled horrible also.
