Reject Hatching Eggs - aka "The Undesirable Egg Experiment"

@AusHen - best of luck with your own Rocket chick!

@CluckNDoodle - The inexperienced backyarder that I am thought the chick would be too small inside the shell to properly reach up & peck open the round side of the long egg. Kind of like a five foot tall person trying to touch a seven foot tall ceiling; they're two feet short of the goal xD

Are you going to band your Rockets if the two of them hatch sucessfully?

I wasn't going to band them but I do have little multicolored chick anklets if I need to mark which one is which.

Thanks. I'm only at D3 so a have a few more days before I will candle and see if we have any development..

@CluckNDoodle - That's always good to have in stock in case same-looking twins happen x3

Wait, is this a chain chomp candle or a Domo Kun candle? it's one of the two and I'm leaning towards Domo Kun due to mouth shape and lack of eye definition.

Is there a chain on the back of it?

It's definitely a Domo kun, though my daughter just thought it was funny. Lol

I’m mostly curious about Crackles. I didn’t know you could successfully seal an egg again

I successfully sealed 2 dented shipped bobwhite eggs. I used piggy paint natural nail polish. It is the most natural I had on hand. Both eggs hatched and are doing well.

This gives me hope for my cracked silkie/serama egg! She’s been in the bator for 3 days now and is the only silkie/serama egg showing development. I only just noticed the hairline cracks, I’m debating sealing them.

Yeah, I think you should seal them with a bit of natural polish. I can never get unsealed ones to hatch due to bacteria. Nail polish is the way to go. Do you have any other chicks she can live with if she hatches?

That's a shame. Domo kun is great. I made a whole lot of chomping domo animations when I was a teenager. My bottle opener on my fridge is also a Domo kun. He chomps my bottles open.

Ok, all caught up. Do you have any pics of Rocket? Sorry, I don't remember,ber if you already posted some. I'd love to see a pic of Rocket next to an average sized egg
