Incubating and discouraged

Are you in CA? My eggs have had pretty good fertility

I’m in Canada, but thank you anyways!

I reeeeeally hope your eggs are good and you "just suck at candling" because that can get better. I'm watching your situation closely because you are kind of where I am in all this, though a little further along. I haven't tried candling yet, and I have no idea what to look for so I know I definitely suck at it right now. I hope the rest of your eggies are fine

Well keep reading and hopefully you’ll learn from my trial and error lol. I’ve had 2 unsuccessful hatches since that post. I hope yours do better!

How are you and the chick doing Rosie?

How are you and the chick doing Rosie?

She was very weak and not very responsive when I left home for work. I’ll check in on her when I get home but I fear the worst
I think she spent a great deal of energy trying to escape that egg. I’m not at all experienced in assisted hatching but at least I know I did what I could for her.

Rosie? How’s it going? Really sad for your baby sorry

You got her out, which is the big part. I really hope she pulls through.

I agree ^

Still at work, I’ll update when I get home. I should have just snuck her in here with a heating pad...

I emailed my egg source, as she always asks for updates at hatch time. She feels super bad that things aren’t going well, and keeps saying she’s getting great hatches.
She said she’ll replace the eggs again if I want to keep trying.

She didn’t make it
