Fear confirmed

Following the little voice in my head, I took jumpy out after he stopped moving. Opened him up and out came this green goo. He died in the shell and I feel like when he started jumping and couldn't get out, I should have helped him.

I am taking the Delawares as a loss since none are moving and I have Welsummers and Toulouse to worry about. This has to be the saddest thing and to be honest, I think after this hatch next hatch, I am through. Just downright depressing.

 

Despite my updated heavy loss, I want to wish everyone out there a happy and safe hatch. I have one Delaware that may make it, and another I am not sure. My goose eggs I think are a bust and my Welsummers are only one confirmed, everything else looks like they're clear.

Whew, what a depressing day!

Despite this, I am getting ready to order some Delawares from Ideal. I am on their waiting list and I am more excited to do this. (Too bad they are out of geese) I may have to wait a bit, but at least not at the incubator.

So, the Toulouse look like a no go and I may get a Welsummer out of this. Then I have my two from my bunch, but I don't think they will develop or if their fertilized. But. We'll see what happens. With my luck, it will be my own that do.

I guess the part that is really upsetting is all the money I spent too on eggs and all. Little over $100 including the incubator. This was a perfect week because I am off of work too. However, I think I will use this as a learning experience.

Again, good hatch vibes to everyone out there and I will be looking for some success stories and pics!

 

Here is what I confirmed. Out of the last 12, three back in the incubator, another dead embryo, two stopped growing (just little masses) and the yest not fertile. A lot of infertile's in this batch.

I had 8 out of 14 infertile. That's quite a bit. I am going to speak to the one who sold them to me to see about the situation.

Will keep you posted on the others. Hopefully they will just be a late hatch.
