Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

[Lacrystol]

She's probably also saying, I did all the hard work you wimp!!!

That's not a very nice duck, lol

 

[Lacrystol]

LOL - I just feel bad that *I* am keeping YOU up all night! 

She didn't chirp much at all - which makes me nervous...but she moved a lot, like she was trying to get her head out.  I kept encouraging her, "Come on Peeper!  Push!  You are almost there!" 

HAHAHAHA she's looking at you for assistance and your looking at her encouraging her. OMG, lmao

We're trying!

Since I put her back in her incubator at 2:30, how about I set my alarm for 4:30 and get some photos and meet you here at 5 AM?... Sound OK?

I couldn't tell you how many times I have gone through this, I've had to do this one time twice in two days... She had several eggs and started helping them out lucky she only worked on two before I kicked in. And so for two days, we worked on getting to ducks out. That was rough this is nothing...

Nothing some energy drinks couldn't help with tomorrow at work lol..

Sounds good but your next run get a lot more where I showed you and as long as there's no veins or red, it's ok to hit that membrane because once we get enough shell off that's the next thing we are going to hit..

OK - Sounds good to me! See you at 5!

You will have to push that membrane in that exact spot downwards,,, exposing her body.. Then her curled up wing which is by her eye and her curled up neck will smoothly fall out.. And boom there will be her head along with it..

Peeper didn't make it.

I am sad...doing the "Coulda Woulda Shoulda..."

Lori - "thank you" doesn't cut it, but it is all I have...

I am going to try to get a couple hours sleep...
