Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

Kathy - How do you make the images HIDDEN when you upload?

Depends on what you are pertaining to? Like where are you uploading them? Facebook, flickr or whatever type of program or software are you uploading to?

proceeded how? We were just letting that one do its thing as instructed. It's NO ONE'S FAULT!

Thank you, but I meant from the very beginning. Yeah - putting the eggs in one at a time....I had read a few threads and watched some You-tube videos...but clearly, I had NO IDEA what I was doing and I should not have attempted this. I had NO IDEA how specialized this is!

There is a black quotation bubble in the tool bar, third to the right of the smiley button. I load the pictures first, then place the "spoiler", copy and paste the pictures into the spoiler, then delete the duplicate pictures. If you can't do it on your end, just PM them to me and I'll do it for you.

Thank you!

It's my fault, because I didn't know what I was doing and I proceeded anyway. BAD idea, and I believe the death of the ducklings is my fault.

He's definitely STICKY.

That's what I was afraid of! Sigh.... IF I ever do this again - which I doubt! - I am going to buy a much more elaborate incubator, that will keep the humidity levels stable and consistent!

Time to go bring in the chickens and ducks...I will be away from the computer for a bit, but will be back!

You didn't cause these deaths? You simply thought you did right, this is all a learning Experience. And I bet right now, You are sooooo EXPERIENCE that your next batch is going to be a BREEZE. ha ha just like your new ducky/ LOL

Everyone makes mistakes. Warning, I'm about to talk about God, so if any of you don't like that then just stop reading now.

The only thing that is written for us is the date of our death. There is nothing anyone can do to change that. This includes when animals die. These sweet babies are back with their creator and something good comes of tragedy - ALWAYS! Even if we had given number 11 a safe hole, he still would not have made it. If anything, this way is much easier ON US since it was over before we had a chance to fret.
Please don't beat yourself up over this. Your intentions were good, you did not do anything with malice or ill intent, so no blame can be placed. You can feel remorse, if you didn't perhaps that would indicate a deeper problem. Let us not let this get us down, the rest of these delicate and fragile lives rests with us and if we get stuck on one mistake then we will only continue to make more mistakes. (Just like musicians when playing a piece of music or athletes when playing their sport.) Hope I've made some sense. It's hard to type out stuff on a touch screen keyboard. I miss my buttons.

Quote: Probably female then... I've hatched hundreds of scovies and out of all of those I've only had 4 chocolate males, the rest have been female. Looks like some of the white ones might be chocolate, too. You be able to tell better once their tails grow a little.
