HELP! Incubator quit day 26!

[WVduckchick]

Woohoo! Go baby Go!!

And by the way, I just checked for comparison on KC's and Swedish. I guess Swedish are a bit bigger. Metzer says 5-6.25# for Swedish and only 3.5-4.5# for KC's.

Well well, look at our 2nd zipper!

He's out - first one!

And here are two pics of the status on the assist; before wetting and after wetting. The moisture in the left is my fault, didn't realize the cloth was covering that when i put him back in last. :-/ His beak is behind his wing there and he really wants out! I shouldn't try to get his wing out of the way for him or anything right?

 

[Lacrystol]

This makes me wonder if I should be more worried about the last one that hasn't started zipping? Or... just calm down and focus on this fella for now?

Will take a look lets do one at a time..

 

[WVduckchick]

Lacrystol where are you??

They pip with their head under their wing, so I wouldn't bother it until she checks in

 

[Lacrystol]

That's so cool how they can be so resillient. I read on a thread on herre once that thee was a chick that hatched in a TRASH BAG after it had been thrown out because the gal incubating her eggs thought it was a quitter!

K i don't see Lacrystol on hre yet but I'm gonna pull the fella out and take a couple pics.

I'm here sorry

 

[Lacrystol]

He needs some cleaning. hang on

 

[Lacrystol]

Well well, look at our 2nd zipper!

we are going to help number ONE, he's READY

Lacrystol this guy that has been working on zipping the longest has been in the same spot for hours now and with all that gunk I am afraid he is sticky - is he? Or do you think he is fine? He's been trying to keep going.

 

[Lacrystol]

OK he's not drying up, so that tells me hes got some gooy stuff stuck under his membrane, Take your wet qtip and clean underneath the membrane where those Red Veins are, Be very careful. Once you start to clean them, you should see them slowly disappearing..
