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

[Saris]

Don't understand why anyone wraps a porous egg in paper. Just wicking moisture out of it. Bubble wrap works a lot better! Hope the rest are okay...

Not to mention a pingpong ball sized egg in a regular sized egg carton..... My fingers are crossed too. Thanks.

I found an ice cold pigeon egg and stuck it in the incubator two days ago and it's still alive!

I have/raise rollers and tumblers, it's somewhat common for me to find the pigeon 1st egg of 2 be ice cold this time of year but, the hen will lay the 2nd egg and hatch out 2 squabs just like nothing ever happened.
Can you feed it if it hatches?

We don't?

I've got eggs cooking. Supposedly they are gonna hatch on the 19th.

I went back to sleep. I checked on the NYD chicks in the garage brooder and the eggs in the incubator.

Now we're getting somewhere! What's everyone have in the bator?

I've got 12 self blue Cochin bantams (shipped) day 3 (going to candle today to see how many are viable).... And 18 eggs arriving in the mail tomorrow

I've heard of that a few times, with good results.  Long as it isn't cracked, I guess it's worth a shot...nothing to lose.

It's from a poorly made nest where my peafowl sleep, so I think I'll toss some hay in there and see if they will build the nest up a little. If they do, I'll put the egg back if they're still sitting on an egg. Otherwise I'll have to raise a baby pigeon by hand, and not sure I want to go through that again.

Has anyone seen the show Fatal Attractions? It is crazy what people keep as pets. And I go into lockdown on Thursday!

I found it at about a week into incubation (will take pics). I can feed it, just not sure I want to. Do you show you pigeons?
