Ok so let me just say that this incubation of my Pekin eggs has been smooth sailing until
1. my dog stole and egg and dropped it cracking it
2. I now have an early pip on the wrong end with blood under the shell. All is will with this egg now. Made nice big pip on its own
Cam link that will be active for awhile and then again on friday afternoon. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/emmalion
Here is the pic
I was getting them ready for lockdown which is supposed to be tomorrow but not anymore! I had to dewax my broken egg which I cannot believe is still kicking and is soon to hatch. But while I had that egg out I decided to check the air cells and place them accordingly and was planning on hand turning tonight one last time and locking them down before bed. I have to go to work for 2 days starting tomorrow so I wanted to get everything done.
But putting the last egg down I noticed the discoloration on the egg and then I noticed that it was cracked. A pip? I am totally stressing right now over that poor duckling and I really do hope it gets out.
Is there anything I can do, obviously I cannot help it seeing there is still veins in there and it caught one. But position or anything that you might think would help?
Thanks for looking.
Edited for spelling because I am cool like that.
