first time I weighed them... It was for fun, trying something new.. I gained new wisdom on a whim. I likey.They are supposed to lose weight. 12-14% of the initial weight, average.

Candled my seramas and tolbunts last night.
4 Tolbunts doing great, 2 early quitters, 1 clea(hatch date Nov3)
7 seramas still going strong. They should hatch the 31-1.
***The Halloween babies I placed on the 10th are doing good. 10 out of 14. 2 clears and 2 early quitters.***
They will go on lockdown Friday!
me=23 daze but weak chick and assisted..What is the longest you have seen an egg go and still hatched successfully?
good for you!3 out of my 4 I set are looking great!
Just candled and all 4 turkey eggs and 22 chicken eggs look good with nice veins and movement! One more week ...... wow
That's how I ended up with a trillion chickens.. I am fond of the cuties...Super disappointing, but the chicks are super cute!
Really?!?! Awesome. Ok, that one gets named Liz.
My Hallowbatch is a mirror image of you efforts..i hand turn these. They are in rows. I pick up one from one end, roll the whole row to the empty space, insert the first one back at the other end. So they all travel across the bator at one time or another, and all get rolled the same.
your chickie is like my piggies..
my battery is running low in my hearing aid.. could you speak louder?Seems good to me. Hear that, everyone??
FIRST POST OF THE DAY! (sadly)
Candled the school eggs during our parent teach conference today. Turning the heat up .5 degrees must have done the trick because all 5 are doing great! I'm feeling more confident about these Halloween babies!
Also, I accidentally dropped an egg last week while turning them and cracked it pretty good. In a blind panic and because I don't own nailpolish I slapped a piece of ducktape cut to size on the egg. It cover about 1/4 of the egg. Now I'm feeling foolish cause I have no idea how that chick is going to hatch! Should I just wait till day 19 and then peel it off as carefully as I can?!? Ugh. Why didn't I think that through better?!
Membrane was all intact when I taped it. I did candle it today and it's still alive and kicking around. No oozing, so that's good! I'm thinking peel gently too, just REALLY NERVOUS about it!I would wait and do your best to peel it gently. is the chick still looking okay through candling or is it too dark to see? If the chick has died/died from the shock of the drop, it may just leak and affect the other eggs, so I would keep a CLOSE eye on it....

Thanks I will try, wishing it was any other tape but ducktape right now! haha, but hey duck tape fixes everything!I think if you go slowly and put water on the edges of the tape to loosen the adhesive as you go, maybe use a feeding syringe or your fingers to drip water and break the seal it has on the egg, you should be able to remove it safely. Fingers crossed for you down here in AZ
