Hands on hatching and help

[Ravynscroft]

Yes. I have nutradrench. The other ducklings love it.
Thanks. Linda

Awesome! Was just making sure!

I just had a few malpos from shipped Calls... most are thriving fine, 2 still unknown... 2 long days of trying to be patient, lol...

Awww that's sad. I'm sorry. I'm sure you have pics?
Here was my pretty girl. I hope those people still have her.

She's pretty. What's the one down front?

Wow, the call challenge. You are a brave woman. I'd love to have Calls. But have too many bigs and no more room. Need to rehouse some soon.
I lost all my patients years ago. Don't know where, it was just gone one day.
Good luck with the rest of your hatch
Thanks. Linda

Thanks. Silver Duckwing OEGB. I still have her. She's the mother of the 4 I hatched this weekend. My avatar is a newer pic of her.

lol! I had to find mine again hatching Calls... last count our flock was about 70 and that was 5 hatches ago! And only 10 are ones I didn't hatch!

@RubyNala97
Just went and checked again. The ling externally pipped below the air cell. Could not keep my hands off. Opened the air cell area. Duckling did not even have a pip into air cell. I opened a small hole at its bill. Covered the inner membrane with vasealin and put it back in bator. It's now breathing normally. But time will tell. It may not be strong enough or have a deformity of some kind. Will keep you posted.

You can see where it pipped - right at tip of bill
Thanks. Linda.

Wow, that's amazing you found the bill! Hopefully once all those veins recede it will start trying to get out. Good luck! Keep us posted!

I was just gonna ask if you could see a 'bruise' spot anywhere on the egg... good catch and good luck...

Ravyn, I wanted to tell you that you were so right with something you said to me!...I just cracked open the clear call eggs and the outter membrane was seperated from the shell. That's where all those dark spots were. I totally learned something new!

Glad you learned, but sucks on how... :/

I have about a doz due about the 23rd, since I am trying to hatch every pure Snowy egg I get, lol... and the girls have 13 under them... not planning to hatch anymore from my mixed flock for a while... in fact, I was thinking of posting an auction tonight for 12+...

Day 20. No pips, no moving eggs, no nuffin'! But hope springs eternal. They may have not been warm enough at some point in the incubation and will be late hatching. Plus they had a really rough start. And 21 days isn't carved in stone anywhere either, so all 8 will stay right where they are until they are either hatched or......or.....well, I dunno the "or" yet...

So glad to have found this thread. Some of you already know me and have helped me assist. I thank you all! I have a LG9300 and a Genesis Hovabator. The Genesis is new and I've only used it once and it was with my first batch of shipped Muscovy eggs that did not go so well. It was a dry incubation and then when it got down to hatching, I couldn't keep the humidity up. There were multiple DIS. I gave internal pips close to 48 hours at the start and found that too late. The only two that didn't die were two I jumped in to help at 24 hrs post internal pip. I put the bators away after that catastrophe. I got the 9300 out last week and have 7 eggs on day 6 now

and I'm so glad to subscribe to this thread. I'm going to try to catch up on all of the posts now

lol. Just wanted to write a quick hello
