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

[NaJoBeLe]

@SallySunshine
Warning!! Eggtopsy pics below! 4th egg. Any recomendations as to what I'm actually looking for or how to enable others to help would be appreciated as this was my first experience in this process.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

This was the 4th and after I got into it I decided that was enough for the evening. Hopefully either 1 I will get some pointers of how to better analyze in the future or 2 someone will be able to gain some knowledge from the pics posted. This one seems farther along than the 2nd, maybe not quite as far as the first. Not really sure whats going on with glob of stuff that looks like brain in the 3rd pic but that did me in and I had to call it quits. As previously mentioned maybe I will gain knowledge or pointers through this and can provide better pics for future analyzing.

Yolk sack looks infected on this one? Can't see well on the others.
Might just be the camera making it look green...

Ohh...You just  think you know me...I am way better than you think I am,,just ask me,,,

Sorry, you need three other people to back you up, and three different personalities doesn't count either.

Nathan, I find rinsing the chicks off in water w/o uncurling them helps make malpositions easier to spot in photos. Can't tell from these... Will look again once I'm at a place with a few computer and a nice big screen. Just a word of warning, the water pressure from the tap might make their eyelids open, which is a bit creepy.

I never got to it, we lost one of our girls last night. The seizure girl, dont know if I have it in me today either, I am miserable as well.

Its easier for me to copy from FB than try and explain again...

We are devastated at the loss our Beautiful Sophia to a set of seizures of unknown origin. She started with grand mals yesterday and at some point from then until this afternoon her brain was terribly damaged. So horrible to watch all this and unbearably upsetting. Hurts so bad my poor Beautiful girl. This year just sucks so bad I want it over.

Sally, I'm so sorry that you lost your beautiful Sophia.

Thank you for the advice and warning on the eyes. I was huddled in my daughters bedroom, trying not to draw attention to myself. Both the older kids get it that stuff dies and sometimes life doesnt go as we expect but I decided that might be a bit much for a 9 and 10 year old. Heck it was almost too much for me. She caught me towards the end(after I had cleaned up) and asked where the eggs went. I explained what had happened and I knew alot of really smart people and was going to see if we could figure out what might have happened with the hatch. She wasn't a fan, she would have been fine to leave the eggs for another cycle while holding on to hope they might hatch.

OK I got a bit off last night starting day five.

Day five starts with Old Faithful and the five miles of Upper Geyser Basin trail(s). Loaded with geysers and many of the most famous features and very much a tourist area.
That afternoon I will get my pack and head out through the Midway geyser basin that includes the Grand Prismatic spring (Google it). Then after seeing some lesser known features it is on to the 197' graceful Fairy Falls. I am going to follow the Fairy Falls trail to the Imperial Geyser trail going left .3 miles to see the Imperial and spray geysers before heading back on the trail to the north to campsite OD4 which is supposed to me about a quarter mile off the main trail with a nice view out into the Imperial Meadows a negative is this site very exposed to the elements so I hope there won't be any huge thunderstorms that night. Then in the morning I will complete the loop out to where I started it's a lollipop Loop.

Day six is my last day. After I complete the lollipop Loop out I have several options for day hikes including the hoodoos and the monument geyser Basin that I talked about earlier or even ice lake with The Wraith Falls. I may just look around some more features or something else that came to my attention. The late afternoon or evening I plan to spend at the Madison Campground which includes a swimming hole and places to fish nearby. Essentially a relaxing afternoon and evening before driving to the airport in the morning.
