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

Their nutrition is good. I go broke feeding them. Dave Holderread himself gave me feeding advice. My chickens hatch out well but I keep failing with my waterfowl.

I have to be doing something wrong. I can't wait to upgrade incubators.

It's gonna be a while though as Uncle Sam wants his cut.

Thank God that the only thing ruined!
It could be a very very dangerous situation, if not diagnosed in time!

I want my belly button back! Lol

Oh well, scars define us.

Hey, any advice on ducklings and geese?  Mine develop and die right before hatch.  I am getting really disheartened.  I can see some trying to pip and they die before cracking the shell.

I have some Australian Spotted eggs and I really want to get this figured out.  I hate losing babies this way.  It breaks my heart.  Plus my Sebastopol eggs are going to waste.    

I have hatched three babies and lost about 20.  This is not acceptable.

If all incubation parameters are correct: temperature, humidity, turning and ventilation - the next place I'd look is at the nutrition of the breeders.

Or genetic problems, inbreeding?

And your appendix? You don't want it back?
Yes scars are very important in the NZ Maori culture.....

Yes but they have reasons for their scarring. It is a defining moment and monumental tradition in scarring their bodies. Not so much with American women. It is just a flaw to be judged over.

And I would love to have my appendix back if it hadn't tried to kill me. Lol

There are some people that their brain is trying to kill them...

Nope, I have gone out of my way to acquire non-related stock.

It has to be the temps. I have tried to get them correct. It is so frustrating. I just don't know if they are too high or too low.

I spritz with water once a day up until the final days.

What time is it there? You don't sleep?
