Here's my very first AC eggs ever! I just wanted to show them off

Great!!!

Had 7 white silkie babies go into lock down, I have 6 babies.. One was DIS. Now, I have a pip in my splash, due date tomorrow. Well, it's more than a pip, it's a hole. Made a hole right away, not sure I like them doing it that way. I worry over it until it starts to zip. :/

Xx Fingers crossed xx

OMG! I am so glad I put that egg in the bator when the hen pushed it out of the nest this morning! It has a pip!e

woohoo!!!

Florida.

It hatched! It seems to have an open navel, though, & is bleeding a little. I'll have to look up what to do for that. My last hatch the chicks had navel issues, too, and they were all fine, so I think she will be ok.

@Sally SunshineWhoa! That's a whole lot of information I didn't even think to look up. Funny thing is that was my 5th clutch of CCL's at the same temps and RH's, but the 1st time having that bad of a hatch rate, and the last 2 had no losses, I believe. I totally believe you and promptly got up after reading this and went and adjusted the temp and RH in the new Brinsea that's holding the next CCL's and BBCM's. I'm afraid maybe my old Brinsea bator is dying, hence the bad hatch. It's so old they don't sell parts for anymore. The new clutch waiting to hatch are eggs I had shipped from OK, and once again, my box was beat up, and the inside of the eggs show it. I was expecting a maximum hatch rate of 50%, so I'm happy with my 16 out of 28 so far. As for calibrating, I have no idea how to do it, but I expected Brinsea to have done it at the factory. I'm sure I was wrong again!

That was pretty fast! Congrats!

I wouldn't. It could work out fine, don't get me wrong! But ducks don't have as much success with chicken eggs as chickens do with duck eggs due to the duck's extra humidity (wet stomach).

Wonderful!

Congratulations!


Sure.

I am surprised you say yes. Am I misinformed, or is the risk that low?
