Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Quote:
i wish I could get more then 1 hatching at a time. I only had 2 make it to lockdown this time and only 1 has hatched so far. He will be happier tomorrow when I put him in brooder with the 1 week old chick. This one is very silvery looking. It was shrink wrapped and i had to help it, but it still has bits of membrane on it. 1 over a wing and 1 over 1 eye. Any idea on how to help? Or is it best to leave it be and let it fall off on its own.

I had this happen on a hatch where we had issues with the incubator. I washed them under a stream of warm water at my kitchen sink with a small amount of Dawn dish soap rinsed well, towel dried a little, and put back in the incubator. They all did great.

A toothbrush helps too.

Good idea..some of then were pretty sticky, that would have made it go quicker.

I usually give mine a quick warm bath, then towel dry them and blow dry and back in the bator with them.

I don't use soap.... just warm water will do it.

Having so much fun on this pp egg swap thread. Just claimed some guinea eggs so I could hatch them for a friend. If I don't watch myself, I'd be claiming duck and goose eggs next.

I even created my own swap page today, lol!

I'm working on mine, too, I find myself looking at stuff all over the house as possible swap items, lol...

I was cleaning my bathroom today and found a bunch of things that I could offer. Things I thought I had to have but could live without

Ok guys, how do you make an official "Swap Page"? I wanted to get in on the WYGS, but don't have a list or anything yet? This might need to be discussed elsewhere, too....

If it's not nailed down, swap it.
