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

I did eggtopsies on 5 of the ones that I was sure were dead. None of them had absorbed their yolk, and all of them had a ton of brownish yellow stick mess inside. Isn't the sticky stuff usually caused by high humidity during incubation? 3 of the 5 had pipped internally.

I'm so sorry. It's heartbreaking when they get that close to hatching and never hatch.

Can't make out what you wrote, Seth. All I can see is "I'm.....Turken" What's the problem?

LOL, where my daughter goes for Equestrian therapy, they have all male peacocks. Those things will jump on anything. There was 1 volunteer that had a shiny new car, and they couldn't leave it alone. She had to bring a cover, and cover the car to keep them away.

Not really related, but we have Cardinals here year 'round, & they purely love to sit on the top of the doors of both vehicles, below the windows, and peck at the mirrors; at their reflection, I assume. They keep the front doors of my truck a mess. We've even got one that sits outside the exterior sliding door and pecks off & on all day.
