Eggs and more Q & A

[crandal]

And here is a pic of one that just died Sunday night so you have an idea of how developed this live egg was 3 days ago

Sorry if it's graphic just using it for informational purposes

Yes it's a Muscovy. I was told when I see the air cell take a drastic dip to put it in lockdown and I haven't seen that yet. There's a very small dip and that's it which tells me it hasn't got in position yet. Also, no it hasn't pipped.. I'm hoping for a good ending since only 4 days ago I had 5 that were healthy and I had to go on a trip somewhere bright them with me and used hand warmers to keep temp. They got to hot and I killed them all but this one so I'm praying I get him to hatch. We will see

You have my prayers too!

Looks like it's just starting to dip, lay it with this side up and stop turning... you can still pick it up to candle it, just lay it back down like that again...

No prob on the other pic... looks like it was really close... got for your last one... you can wait on upping the humidity til it internally pips...

So I should stand it upright like this pic or lay it on its side with the dip side up?

Day 36... Same results. Starting to worry. Looks like if it hatches it probably won't be till day 37 maybe???

That's not unusual it's 35-37 days actually. And most of us have learned ducklings don't use a calendar anyway

So sorry for the loss of the others.

Thank you for the update. It seems like the saying should be "watched eggs never hatch" instead of "watched pot never boils". Hopefully you will get some action soon.
