INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Sally Sunshine]

i mean like...10 hours toolong between first break in the shell...white membrane still covering the hole...tstill no air hole kinda pip?

BJ your watching too intently, and you know if I say something wrong and the chick dies its my fault with this one.... so how do you want me to answer you? I am guilty of sometimes throwing a hot damp papertowel in the bator grabbing an egg and a quick flick with the end of the tweezers it has air... yes, guilty..... however I can tell you that everytime you do this, even though humidity is coming up it is drying off the egg and has to resettle on the eggs again. Because that cool air just RUNS for those shells just like the cold air hitting you from your front door in the middle of winter.... so thats what I am going to tell you.

@Bubbles12345 , yes and no. I've never actually put any eggs into an incubator, but one of my Mallards has set her mind to hatching a few ducklings right now. It's been really fun candling them every so often!

Alex!

welcome!! I take it you two are trouble together?

bubbles are you gathering up forces behind my back?

.....I would be poking it at that point, if it were mine. My first hatch all progressed pretty quickly though, first crack in the shell to out within a day. The first chick took a total of about 8 hours from pip to out.

.....I would be poking it at that point (to test for life if you haven't seen it wiggle), if it were mine. My first hatch all progressed pretty quickly though, first crack in the shell to out within a day. The first chick took a total of about 8 hours from pip to out.

I wouldn't be able to control myself either I would be picking at it to but that's just me I can't help myself I'm to impatient

Thank you for the welcome!

Although Bubbles and I DO talk about rather random things (spiders included) on other threads, there hasn't been trouble yet.
