Kiki's found horse eggs—experiment Round 2

[Kiki]

That's what I thought. I think I will try anyway. No harm in trying.

I think my cracked egg died over night or yesterday.

 

[Kiki]

Okay, can the turkey breeders help me out here?

I candled the other egg. Perfectly clear with tiny air cell. No cracks, nothing.

Cracked egg has a MUCH larger air cell and is NOT clear. There is a big blob, no veins.

The clear egg is smaller, does not appear to be from the same hen. What does all this mean? I'm thinking cracked egg is dead and clear eggs is either infertile or fresh and unbrooded.

Can you post pics of each?

So sorry

Can you post pics of each?

Sure, when I get home at around 4pm.

It's all good.
I knew when setting it it didn't have a good chance.
I am going to leave it in the bator for now.

And, I'm thinking that's why the eggs got kicked out of the nest.

I agree. Hm, I think I'll make a really ghetto bator thing for about a week and see what happens. I won't be upset if this goes nowhere, anyway.

I'm now picturing an episode of SpongeBob where there is an egg in an aquarium underneath a light bulb on a wire...

Is this cracked egg stopping?
Notice no veins today.

You tried your best, mother nature is a factor we can never really count on. DH says to tell you "you are a true scientist, thank you" Same here, this thread has been full of great info as well as all the laughs. I wouldn't give up yet, but if nothing changes in the next day or two, I guess it just wasn't meant to be. As with all things we will see.

Walmart....fish section.
Get two two dollar thermometers.

Wait... Did I just see Kiki encourage someone to go to Walmart? Pigs must be flying & h*** freezing over.
