Incubating in my bra: An experiment.

[K Epp]

I wonder if tbe time of year would effect the hatch. Seems the external temp would be up in the summer.

LOL....I couldn't do it, to weird, what if one slips and it looks like you got a third boob? what if I rolled over and squished it..to many what if's that would be so embarrassing!!! I would no sooner do this than hubby would put a few in his undies

But I applaud the OP who is trying...Interesting thread to follow

Well, compared to my boobs, a slipped egg would be barely noticeable.

I eggtopsied Abe first. This is from the large end. Abe had begun to develop, but was a fairly early quitter I think. I didn't want to share what was under that yolk. It looked like a big glob of booger with a tiny bit of blood.



This is Bibi's eggtopsy. Just looking at the yolk it's clear Bibi got a lot further along than Abe did.


And here's Bibi. Nowhere near 21 days of development.
On day 8 (December 26) I saw blood pumping through a vein on this little guy. On day 10 I thought I might have seen some movement. But then I got sick, and was less attentive to the little guy than I would have otherwise have been. I don't think he got much further along than ten days.


I am sorry the little guys didn't make it. But I'm glad I learned something about candleing, the float test, and I wasn't too squeamish to do the eggtopsies.

I will return to this in a few days. Right now I gotta' let the girls breathe for a bit.

So sorry

Sorry it didn't work out.

Sorry this didn't work out. Looks like you learned a lot and we all enjoyed following along!

News: I put Abe in the 100 degree water and he went straight to the bottom and laid there on his side. No movement at all. So I took Abe out, put Bibi in, and Bibi also sank. This time, however, with the air sac up. No movement, though. So I think Bibi is also gone, but I put that egg back in the bra and will wait a bit for advice here.

Oh I am so sorry to hare about Abe

, maybe you can try this again in the Spring or Summer when the outside temps go back up

I thank you for the experiment as I do believe we all learned something

Well all had something to watch on here

Maybe if you feel up to this Spring you can entertain us all again

This time teach us all is can work

I do not see the big deal I did five last year and no one said a word

But I do have faith you can do it

You have to try again!

 

[Ashdoes]

Wow, I can't believe how far Bibi got. Sad about it a little.
I think you should try again.
