Kiki's found horse eggs—experiment Round 2

[room onthebroom]

In WV, Wally World (what my dad calls Walmart) is usually one of the few grocery stores. They are usually well kept and have nice, efficient people working there. When we lived in MD (DC metro area), we avoided Walmart like the plague. They were dirty, staffed by lazy bums, in sketchy areas, and often had people who lived in their cars in the parking lots. The edges of the lots usually smelled like an overused porta-potty.

Agreed. I go to Walmart when I'm out of state, but the one by my house is horrid! DH loves it there (I think he enjoys the challenge.) I've got to be near death, desperate to go in there.

Egg 1, cracked egg:

Egg 2:

Trash egg 1 (or try it ) it may develop.
I'd put egg 2 in a bator to see if it develops.

Okay. I think I'll stick them both in a bator for now, see what happens. I don't have any real hope for egg 1, but if there's a chance....
Next challenge: Finding materials for a ghetto bator because I don't have an actual bator. My friend does but his is broken so .-.

Ideas, anyone? Making TSC run Tuesday, could also stop at Walmart or something. Also have time to order something with express shipping.
I need to figure something out that won't cost me much because I don't have great odds that this is going anywhere.

If you are going cheep...

Do NOT get one of the square yellow top incubators. They are cheap Chinese pieces of.... well... ya know.

Get a foamy instead.

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.

You gave it the best chance at life <3

Kiki your other eggy must be getting close to lock down? Do you think you might get another little chick the same age for it when it hatches?

I think my cracked egg died over night or yesterday.

If you need a cheap temporary incubator, a small hot plate with a thermostat built in works great for a heating element. You can even find them at thrift stores. A small fan to blow air on it helps too! Here is a picture of mine. I put it in my incubator one day when my heating element went out. It saved my eggs! It does take some fiddling to get the temp right since 99 is not labeled.

Hoping that the cracked egg is ok, but agree that the lack of veins is concerning. I’m one that tends to give eggs every possible chance to prove me wrong, so I’d probably leave it in the incubator or at least float test it before pitching it. I’m always hoping against hope when it comes to eggs.

Fingers crossed on the bloody egg. We need to see a horse egg hatch!
