Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

The water that enters the egg via evaporation would not contain the chlorine, it would stay in the sponge/reservoir.

My husband doesn't smell the bleach smell - it could just be me - ignore me!

Maybe you had SME residue on your hands. That stuff is a bugger to get off.

Yeh I get that but something is going on, wonder if the eggs are touching the sponge/reservoir? I don't know the bleach smell has me thrown off, Ive research it and can't find anything that talks about bleach smelling eggs. LOL

Rotten eggs but not bleach smelling..


So What did we decide on Number 12?

Has anyone ever heard that you are able to tell the gender of a Muscovy by the shape of its tail? I have heard it is true with lovebirds. Have any of you ever heard this? Shape is either squared or pointier...

I would bet money that 12 is dead - as are 13, 14 and 15. That said, just to be safe, I think we should give 12 one more day. When I peel the egg, I will be sure to get lots of photos.

Sounds kind of logic. I would say Square being a girl, Pointed being a Boy..
