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

[daxigait]

Chick has zipped all the way and shell is pushed apart, but chick isn't out yet. How long like this is ok? Been this way about 2 hrs..

Can you see if it is shrink wrapped? It should be out.

It's hard to tell what I'm looking at. The membrane I see is white, but the chick looks dark, slick crusty dry.. I can see it breathing but I can't tell where the beak is from my view.

You need at least 10 acres. Time to go shopping, eh?

How are your Habs doing in the playoffs?
The Blues are blowing right through the Wild. Going for the sweep tonight.
Defense has been awesome. First 3 games the Wild had 117 shots on goal and only 6 rebounds and only scored 3 goals.

Wild was the second most potent offense in the league during the season but the Blues had the best record the last 2 months of the season.

My son and his girlfriend are at the game tonight. $60 tickets in the last row, top of the arena.

Question! I just got home from work and my humidity is 27. I have 3 Polish eggs due to hatch Friday. Yesterday it was around 60. I'm not sure why it dropped so fast, but... the big question, or problem, is that one of the eggs has pipped already this afternoon. So...I leave the lid shut with low humidity? How long, because tomorrow it will be even lower, and I have two more eggs to go...

Keep it closed. There should be a way to get some water in one of the vent holes. It doesn't have to be much.

Tied 2-2 with Rangers. :/

That's more than half decent, I'd say. Incredible.

Are the Rangers that good?
My son is excited to be at a playoff game. He's a bigger hockey fan than I am. He played a couple seasons when he was young.

The habs usually beat them soundly, but for some reason they are making a comeback.

She is doing okay.she has Chiari where she has a whole in her skull and her brain is poking out a bit.well the fell and hit the spot and couldn't move barely talking.it was so scary.she is going to the doctor in the am she is having trouble seeing and bad pain in her neck

Wow, I'm sure it was very scary. You continue to be in my prayers - thanks for checking back in and letting us know.

I don't know. Think I have enough thermometers?

Quote: Thanks! It's only 10PM, but I'm out of gas - I'm working on my big front porch with light, and can usually work late, but I was starting to make little mistakes, which is THE sign to stop. After all, I wouldn't want a mistake to happen with the saw or chisel and hammer. A trip to the ER would certainly set back my plans.

I'm SOOOO sore.

Another full day of hard work on it tomorrow - every time I walk into the room with the brooders I feel like I should apologize to them.

Gosh, if you know your humidity dropped a lot, it could be shrink wrapped, as Dax said, it should be out. I'd help in this case. You may want to be prepared for foot problems. Just MHO.

Her head was shrink wrapped. I had to pry pretty good. I misted her too. She's flopping around and crying now. Hopefully she will be ok. Foot problems because she didn't use her legs to kick out? Her legs seem stronger than her head right now...
