June Hatch A Long

[jolenesdad]

Ugh what a day. I'm so looking forward to babies in the next day or two. One of my dogs got one of my favorite pullets this morning. Pretty sure she punctured an air sack. Trying to get the baby to sleep so I can run to pharmacy for needles.

So sorry!!!!

They look goooooood.




I remember! Cannot wait to see the babies!!! How are the Easter ones doing?

They’re great thank you!! One just started crowing last week! He’s only less than 3 months old... mine have always started crowing at 5-6 months so this is new!

Oh no!!!!

I’m sorry you had such a rough day. Losing one is always bad, but one of the favorites really stings.

Hurry, chickies, hurry!

This may have been the most difficult month for me to date as far as having LOTS of dud eggs that weren't fertilized, bad batches of eggs, and even having my late incubation quitter but it has also been the most interesting month of offers I'm getting for eggs to hatch! I'll be getting 4 Peacock eggs to add to my growing mix of random eggs tomorrow! lol

So fun!!! We had them in the neighborhood I grew up in. They were so pretty but all my childhood memory can remember is their poop was gigantic.

I’m on day 18 and most of the eggs are getting pretty dark, but I was able to catch the most awesome angle and a bright scene here tonight on this egg. Next time I do duck eggs, I really need to get out my macro lens and big camera. The detail you can see in these eggs is fascinating. The eggs incubating in their side you can see better but the ones that are upright the way the embryo is developing it’s blocking a lot of light.

Woooow! That's is an incredible view candling!

Lol, Well the giant poopers will only live with me while their poops are small.

Bad dog! What a bummer! Hope your pullet is ok!!

I didn’t have delayed development.
They looked normal at lock down. Such that i locked them down.
Air cells were normal
I haven’t eggtopsied.
But at day 25 many haven’t hatched.

Oh sorry about the confusion! How many hatched and how many didn’t? My 14 day candle was not so encouraging for the shipped eggs...
