Pic of EggTopsy of PIPPING WRONG END! The egg I thought was an early quiter on day 14 or really small had pipped sometime today on the lower side and died!!! I should have took a pic first but I thought maybe it was alive, it wasnt moving....

It was a pretty yellow peep with black markings all over his head : ( His little beak was sticking out, and gooey stuff running down almost drying the egg to the carton.....remember I had the egg in the styro egg carton with bottoms cut out??? He pipped right where it was touching leaning on the carton! Could he have made it this position at all????

ALSO..... I SHOULD have brought the bator up to check on the progress of the other internal pipped egg!! I just had too many kids today and too much chaos with the shed delivery and everyone coming home on the bus too!! Then Supper and ugggg....

Anyway....
I checked and no movement, so I tried to candle and see in the little hole I made on top, he was wrapped white and not moving, I Honestly thought he was gone! and I was kicking myself in the ars for not bringin the bator upstairs!

So I very gently started a zip line around the air cell and it basically it just ripped from being so dry, so first thing I did was get his little beak free in that inner white lining and then I wet the membrain covering the rest of him gently and in an instant it moistened and he took a deep breath and popped up with his head! Scared the living sheeeat out of me!! No really it was like Friday the 13th!!

I wet around the egg edges a few times since then, and now he is just resting like the others, I will leave him be and just moisten if I think its really sticking to him.... ANOTHER LONG night coming up!!! He started to chirp lightly so I think he isnt ready yet, since the others really got loud when they started to emerge and his membrane had a little blood veining yet, so he needs to just rest and do his thang!

He is black as you can see!!! I have a good feeling after dealing with the others last night that he will be fine in time!

His name is JACK BLACK!! I love Jack!!!

Here's my kick the evil human story.

So i got 6 babies in March from sgtmom. 3 americaunnas and 3 esster eggers. I was draen to grey in both breeds..so we zip tied the 3 americaunnas. I changed the anklets several times. Lost one of the chicks at some point. Removed the anklet of one a while bavk and thought i checked all the rest for anklets. Well today a friend was over and ssked me why one of my roos was limping. I look over and see he has one! So this evening we brought him in and removed it. Je even has an infection. so i cleaned it and sprayed it with blukote and put him in the quarantine pen.

Oh no, Missy! Sounds like you're putting him back together. If it makes you feel any better, know that you are not the first.

 

[mama2my4]
