Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Where did granny run off to? Hope I didn't hurt your feelings hun over the Tolbunt eggs. I know it's devastating each time a hatch goes bad. I've had a bunch myself, it isn't very fun for sure.

oh no, you didnt . Im here . I put the chick with its hatch for a min. but it was tired and they were eyeballing its butt. I put it back in the bator.

She cracks me up.
She is hilarious, has great stories and has the best health advice..no sugar, for sure not high fuctose corn syrup and for sure fresh garlic daily.

I'll go check him in a couple hours. I can pick a bit more from around his head, but finding veins made me nervous.

There will still be veins that are red. But it didnt bleed when you broke one . Thats the main thing. I could be way off for sure but from past experince they wont hatch like that.

I set the eggs that a little girl gave me this week. They are marked 5/6 and had been under a heat lamp last week until Friday. I set them Tuesday in the new bator. I candled them tonight and they look like spiders! So we'll see.

Camp, ask on Sallys . I have found they wont finish that hatch unless the head and neck are cleared . Not sure Im saying it right. take the shell away from the head.  It dont look like a mal po to me and as far as I can tell is ready.   Once you start a hatch you need to finish and he cant free his head unless broody does it.

Did you wrap the egg in a wet paper towel? The part that still has shell? When Ive had one like that I would wrap the shell in a warm wet paper towel. They hatched when they were ready. Looks like that chick got too big for her space, couldn't move enough to get the job done. My broody lost one like that a month ago. It was pipped internally but couldn't reached the shell to pip externally, it died in the shell

Probably wondering who the new kid is with the weird butt...

Let's hope you get something out of them. They are pretty amazing creatures that's for sure, fingers crossed that they will successfully hatch.

this is the first time I had it out to even feed it. I put crumble and water in there and kinda ignored it. It didnt have anything in its craw. I could see the egg in its neck running down the side . weird looking.
