June Hatch A Long

[CluckNDoodle]

I personally break the shell off around the part that is stuck and it usually dries and comes off within a few hours naturally. Less chance of bleeding that way.

They are beautiful !!!

Thanks HolyDuckBatman! Susan’s looking a little worse for wear from roosters that have pulled her head feathers. Here’s a pic of her from her better days, with her former bestie Marilyn. Really hoping that she has more good days ahead in her future with a chick that she can !

I just looked at the " yolk " ( or so I thought ) & it does look greenish now ! I think that he may have the cord still, I know he did earlier...is it safe for me to remove him from the cup & check ?

Maybe you could get a picture now? My guess is that if he’s getting more active, he may have absorbed the yolk. Even if the yolk is still there, he will be ok lifted up for a moment as long as he doesn’t get his little feet and claws into the yolk to rip the sac open.

OMG guys, I had him in his shell for nothing ! I took him out to check & he flopped out & the waste just broke off ! He has a tiny bit of cord, I think I'll leave it be. No wonder he was trying to get out, lol. I appreciate all of you so much ! My ducky owes his life to all of you !

So glad to hear it!! Hey a few extra hours in his little ducky egg throne didn't do him any harm and now he's well rested and ready to go! I hope you'll share a picture of the little guy!

He is exhausted, I hope that is normal, but here is my little fluff fluff !!!

Fixing her very minor splay leg, she isn’t even picking at it. I’ll probably leave it a couple more days.

Oh and I candled my others, I have 5 olive eggers (Delaware cclb) and one more cclb. All of these are sexed when hatched! So I’m very excited to see what we get!

Especially since I will be selling them

Soooo sweet! He's lucky to have had you there to help him through! Hatching is hard work, he'll be sleepy for a while.
