May 2020 Hatch-A-Long

[Vantic]

I am saying this but I already sold a bunch just not in 5 minutes like before

Same here, the they don't have the fever they had before. I have only sold 24 of 41 since Thursday. Last hatch they were gone on day two.

Now that you mention it, in February they sold in 30 minutes and this time it was probably 5 hours... you're right, the market is dead. Lol

Mine is like 24 hours after posting

I’m going to pee because of you guys making me laugh too hard

Not literally... maybe it’s time for depends

I just had a funny thought. I was looking at a pic of my hatching chick, and his egg tooth, it made me think of a dragon...

Sometimes dragons are depicted with a horn on their nose, Dragons probably hatch from an egg too. Just a thought.

Ladies I need some advise and I know it’s a stretch but I pulled my last cockatiel egg from the nest to candle it and it felt wrong. Like it was empty. It still looked a little pink but the bottom was black. I watched it for a long time and saw zilch. I saw there was a toe nail hole from the parents and the look of it I figured it was dead. I should have put it through the egg buddy but hindsight being 20/20 and all that...So at least I always eggtopsy starting at the air cell. I got a small window into the air cell and swore I saw movement. This baby is shrink wrapped in the shell so now I’m sitting there staring in this little egg and I’ll be damned if I can’t see this chick breathing. so now I’m digging for my sterile saline and kicking myself in the ass for not double checking with the egg buddy so drops of saline in and the membrane comes alive bright red. So I added several drops of saline to the membrane and tucked this little bugger into a bowl in my brooder. Has anybody here ever done an assisted hatch on a shrink wrap? Idk if I can keep it going long enough to absorb everything. I can’t believe I screwed up so big

Sorry I am no help. I hope it comes through okay!

What day is it on Kel?

I would leave it be and see if it still hatches. I have seen some times late in hatch, if the egg has fluid in it and you candle it can mimic movement even if the egg is not viable, but if the veins are still red....
