Thanks, Penny.Ahhh geeze Dobie Tonya Feel for her and you you have had lot's of good folks chime in I will just leave a hug
I used a 16 gauge needle to make the initial hole in a slightly granular section of the shell that was exposed, widened it by pulling small pieces off with tweezers, then sucked out as much albumen and yolk as I could with a 3cc syringe. Then I used a 10 cc syringe to squirt a very dilute solution of betadine into the egg then around the egg to try to clean her a bit before inserting my finger inside the egg and gently breaking it down. At this point it was basically empty.Well done DL!
When you & @casportpony mentioned sucking the egg out, what did you use? Syringe? Baby snot bulb? Something else?
Oh yes, I am expecting it. I just hope it doesn't come when I'm gone to work for 12 hours. I'll watch her throughout the day on the broody camera and if I see she is straining, I'll cut short my work day and come home to take care of her.Nice job, DL.
Do keep in mind that she may have another egg on the way already and it can take time for her to stop laying after you limit her light exposure, so you may have to help her out again - let's hope not, but it's a possibility.
