Put eggs in the bator 9-9-12 anyone want to hatch along????? :0)

Wow! I wish I had that luck with hatching!  
So sad to hear about the ones that didn't make it. 
None of my swedes are laying yet.  I can't wait till i can hatch out my own.  

They weren't shipped eggs or anything, so that's probably why the success. I think the deaths were related to temperature issues before hatching. My humidity and temperatures were too low. The ones that died - 2 had umbilical hernias, one was stuck to it's shell and died after I helped it get unstuck (2 hours after being under the heat lamp), 1 just seemed really weak from the get-go and 1 was a surprise.

My one is out. Still not out of the woods yet. Hope this little one makes it. I have 20 more eggs in the bator to hatch out on the 17th, 2 of them are cracked, I put wax on them and those 2 are actually growing! I haven't candled the rest yet. Will do that tonight after I get this little one out of there. I've only ever hatched out shipped eggs. So far I suck at it. Not sure why. It's still a learning process. This is my first hatch in the new bator. I'm thinking the temp gauge on it is a little off. These might have been incubated a bit on the cool side. While I'm in town today I'll pick up a couple little thermometers to test the temp. Bleh.

I had one that acted the same way.. I wonder why they make it so far and then just don't thrive like the others. I am very sorry.

So sorry,

why don't you think he will make it. I know it has been a little while since you posted this did he perk up?

Quote: Nope, He didn't make it. He was full of energy, then all the sudden no energy. Then he started breathing real hard and bubbles started coming out of his mouth. Not real sure what happened.
