Is it in prime pipping spot? If not, I’d leave it alone. I waxed half of the air cell area on the first pipped egg in my hatch. It hasn’t caused any problems. I’d just keep an eye on it.Six Silkie eggs looking great and in lockdown tonight!
I am having a debate with myself though - one is the egg I dropped and patched with electrical tape. The crack/patch covers a portion of the air sack (and presumably unzipping) line - should I preemptively remove a portion of the patch, or should I just wait and see?
They are so cuteMy final hatch stats.
The DIS was a black split. It had almost absorbed all the yolk sac, but the sac had grown around its leg.
- 8 Paint Silkie Eggs (shipped)
- 3 Developed
- 1 DIS after lockdown/right before pip
- 2 Chicks Hatched
The patched shell hatched, and it is a paint. The chick is small, and it has had some struggles. It hatched earlier than it should have. It’s on the upswing.
The last chick is a paint as well. It is doing great. Fluffy and normal size.
They actually have a few more spots now than in these fresh out of the incubator pics.
