@LilyD , I can not tell you how grateful I am that you shared your live feed with us. Now that I'm sitting here minimally assisting my goslings I feel much more comfortable with the whole scenario because of watching you do it! I've helped chicks but in general I know their timeframe and everything better. I feel so much better because I watched your hatch!

I loved that live feed. I was on a work trip and kept obsessively checking it! I was so sad when it came down... Whom here is next to offer their live feed? You could do pay per view and make some $$$...

I second LilyD's list! I keep a very similar kit on hand!
- Q-tips
- Thin Tweezers
- Little Medical Kit Scissors
- A metal cuticle pusher (I think, it's a slightly pointed metal thing but not sharp and whatever it is has really come in handy)
- A Push Pin (if you need to make a safety hole)
- Antibiotic Ointment (WITHOUT pain reliever)
- Nutridrench for poultry
- Alcohol Swabs (to wipe off the tools before and after each use)
- Coconut oil
- Paper Towels

I don't have any betadine but I may have to change that!

Thank you I totally forgot the screw I have a very small screw to make a safety hole if needed. I like screw versus pin because with the threads it won't push past where I want it. I usually always have papertowels and small cups and tissues so I didn't add those. What do you use the cuticle pusher for?

Hehe I was using my cell phone and doing it off there. Working on setting up a camera for that purpose and might have to get a few outdoor cameras for the brooders too lol. It was a lot of fun and actually was very handy because I could be off working on other things and check on the babies without being right on top of them the whole time.

I have live set up with a top view incubator. I could do it if y'all wanted on hatch day.

It has come weirdly in handy for me opposed to using tweezers or when gently making a hole wider after using the pin, especially when making an external pip near the beak/bill because it's not sharp so I'll score the shell with my pin and then switch to the blunt pointed tool that I'm calling a cuticle pusher because there's less risk of me hurting the bitty. I really like the screw idea though! I'll keep that in mind!

just bought a wifi web cam for my next. It looks like the chicks will hatch out on independence day week lol.

YES!! Yes, please! I was absolutely addicted to watching LilyD's hatch! The live feed is the best! I'm going to try to get a camera set up as well if you recommend a camera to use for live feed let me know because I'm completely new to it, other than enjoying watching. lol
