That is an excellent picture of veining. I wish I could see inside my eggs like that.

What does SO stand for? Significant Other? It took me awhile to figure out what DH stood. It is Dear Husband right?I threw my SO out this morning. I have also had to go through pregnancies alone due to break ups. PM me if you need a friend to talk to. I've been where you are.

I get it. When they are building coops and feeding chickens, DH. When being fat heads, SO. It is so much easier to be be SO/DHless. Sometimes I have a hard time lifting something, I think it would be nice to have someone to help,but then I just went out and bought a dolly. And when I am done with it, I put it in the shed. I'd probably get in trouble if I tried that with a DH orSO.Yep, you got the idea![]()

Hahaha I agree being single is so much easier no one to complain when I wanna hatch eggs in mid winter and IMA guy so the heavy lifting isn't much of a issue only time I wish I had help around is for chores hahaha
yes it looks like they are behind a little...when your looking through the small end of the egg your seeing the unabsorbed yolk. it's going to be fine...get your temps up and keep your humidity around 25% to 35% if it's a little higher with out adding water then your fine...I know it's dry here now and I have to add water almost daily...are you using a still air? if so temp should be around 101 if you have a fan 99.5...those are guide lines though small variations aren't going to kill the embryo...are you using more than 1 hygrometer? I use the kind that fit through the vent and can lay on the eggs....if your using an incubator that has it built in the lid it's reading temps at the lid level not the egg level.Ok, so here is what I am thinking and please, I have very little experience here so if you think I am wrong chime in... Hubby just reminded me we woke up a few times to find the house temps in the mid to low 60's and the temp on the bator running at 98 or so... could it be on the eggs that have definite movement that they may just be behind a few days? What if I leave the bator alone for two days and then candle again to see if they have grown, I do have a couple that I question, doubt they are alive but I don't want to risk being wrong on even one of them. I know I am going to take the advice of others and not even bother with lockdown until I see an internal pip... What do you think my chances are of salvaging this hatch?
I am sure there is no way I could have a turkey living in the house if I had a DH or SO.Hahaha I agree being single is so much easier no one to complain when I wanna hatch eggs in mid winter and IMA guy so the heavy lifting isn't much of a issue only time I wish I had help around is for chores hahaha
I have never depended on anyone but myself. I am too picky about the way I want things done. If I had a second bedroom, I'd love to have a chicken loving roommate. But I have a single bedroom house. My last house was almost 3000 sq ft. My son went off to college, I moved to Alabam for a job and my new house is only 765 sq ft. I do need more storage only because I am now retired and have so many hobbies. My bags of feed are on my front porch. I'm sure my neighbors love that.My SO will never be a DH...lol I've tried that a few times already. Just doesn't work for me. They all end up being SOBs instead of SO...lol No offense guys. Not saying you are all that way. I've just had to deal with more than my fair share of them.
If I can't get it done on my own it doesn't get done. I don't depend on a man for anything. That being said, I do have an opening for a poultry loving roommate/companion...but not a DH...lol
