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

LEGGO question,, I was directed here from another part of the site with incubating hints..it says use a leggo,, it never says why ,, lol..and I cant see a why, on this page either,, fill me in on the purpose, etc, plz.

It was too give better control of the stem of the thermostat as you could turn it with better results. When I used the styrofoam incubator I also put a mark on the stem of the thermostat and the top of the incubator lid when I finally got the temp right so if I did have to adjust I knew where I was when adjusting.

If I need help with a chick who pipped on the wrong end, is this the thread I can get help in? Or is there a better one somewhere?

Here's my situation. I had 2 broody hens. They hatched 6 eggs, and kicked over the rest of the nest. When I got home, there was 8 eggs that were cold and dirty. I put them in the incubator, and 3 have hatched so far. The others look like they'll go tomorrow or the next day.

Except Pip. Pip pipped on the wrong end. He hasn't gone further than that since yesterday mid morning. The area where he poked the shell off was turning brown.

I went ahead tonight, and broke some of the shell off, without piercing the inner membrane.

It still needs more time for the veins to dry up and absorb the yolk. It's almost there.

Here's my dilemma. How can I keep the inner membrane from drying up and shrink wrapping it? I wrapped it in a damp paper towel on the air cell end, but I'm worried about drowning it.

Am I doing okay? I obviously messed up and should have left it longer, but the others zipped a lot sooner than this guy has. It's been almost 30 or so hours since it pipped. And, it pipped the wrong end.

@Mims Have an update? not sure when this post was since I multi quoted!! ughhhhh extra info for you just in case!!

Just an FYI on the two by four into 2 by 2's ripping thing,, home depo will "rip" them for u if u buy the 2 by 4s from them..at least they did when I got them a while back..probably other stores will too

really? interesting thank you!

Erg second gosling is alive still, barely. Still no external pip. When removing bits of shell, noticed the veins still in the inner membrane as I hit one. Put back in the bator for a while. Gonna be a long night...

OHHH come on baby!!

Goop morning all!

I am hoping someone may have an answer for my question so the humidity in my incubator won't leave 20 percent unless I put a barley wet rag in there and a spike to 70% what do I do?

19 days, 2 hours, 7 minutes, and 40 seconds until the eggs hatch!
(Nobody jump on me and give me a lecture about how chicks don't wear watches- I know fine well, but it is fun!)
