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

[BullChick]

Thanks!! Leave the membrane intact though correct?

The membrane is probably dried out after all that time. You will have to at least moisten it. I’ve never left the membrane intact when assisting since that is what is keeping the chick from hatching to begin with.

They're after your fruit trees. If any of it falls on the ground & starts to rot, they'll come in like a bear to a honey tree.

See what could happen to them if they eat rotten marula fruit....

I was cleaning up/checking over today’s eggs. Duckling had looked at an egg funny, but I didn’t know why. It has no shell. I completely understand her reaction now.

Depends on the chick. If it’s kicking to get out help it. When I did help they usually would finish the job and plop out into my hand. I did have those that didn’t make it.

One last question. Do I put her a a moist towel or what. Seems like she would stick to the bottom of the bator.

Did it make it out ok? What’s the bottom of bator made of? I would just keep it warm without paper towels. They usually don’t stick.

it's like small welded wire, plastic coated. I was able to remove half the shell. looks like it might not have absorbed all the yolk sac. Have to go feed the ponies and I will check again when I get back and try to get it off the rest of the way.

Yeah I’d wait if you see yolk. Better to let it absorb more in the shell. I seldom had them survive with the yolk.
