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

[Sally Sunshine]

@Sally Sunshine or anyone else, what is the blob that left in the shell after they hatch?

-Kathy

yours looks like it had pooped its meconium or bacteria in its residual albumen Kat. I only have issues with those little blobs or yellow blobs if I run low temp higher humidity and there is always a smaller blob with ducks I noticed.

oh adding Kat, have you ever taken a just hatched chick when dry and fluffy and try to vent sex it? you have to squeeze its butt a bit and it sends out the first very liquid like clear and mixed with green poo, the meconium, I will assume that poo mixed with the resudue can give that color.

All of my Muscovy ducks look like this. Cannot see any green poo in it.

No, never have tried to vent sex.

Check the inside of the empty shells for signs of insufficient weight loss during the first half of incubation (blood vessels not reaching until sharp end of egg).


Looks like this cam didnt reach the bottom of the egg.

I thought bee keepers always wore head nets & carried smokers?

we're supposed to

Many don't. Look at youtube videos and you'll see many without hoods or gloves. Most will use some smoke.
