Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

[WVduckchick]

That is so cool how you can see that much through the incubator! That is for sure the one I wanna get. I bet since its pretty new one the market if I don't get it this spring the price will go up .
But. . Obama care killed us with insurance penalty on taxes and we got to pay that first.

I haven't done our taxes yet.
This one had that problem with the fan, and I heard they might take it off the market, but hopefully they just redesign the fan cover. That may increase the price a little.

no more pips this morning
This one had not externally pipped yet in over 24 hour. . opened air cell a bit. It is chewing and yawning so I stopped for now. Coconut oil rubbed on membrane. . the membrane is pulled away from the shell and looks paper y white and tight against the baby. .
Is shrink wrapping possible under brood y? It looks pretty constricted. I'll post a couple more pics in a minute.

I can't see any movement in any of the other eggs. I am really wanting to start opening air cells to see what's happening in there. I'll wait a while longer.

I hope you get someone on here soon!!

I just really expected to see some more internal pips this morning.
It makes me wonder if they even can with the way the membrane looks so tight to it on the one . . and knowing how tough the membrane was on the ones I assisted last year. I know shrink wrapping is usually an incubator thing so I'm not saying that's what it is but it sure is pulled away from the shell a lot. There is no way to see down in there to see if yolk is absorbed or anything.

Be patient I sent out a distress call in a Conversation.

And now I'm wondering if they already internally pipped while I wasn't watching. . . .ran out of oxygen and died

I'm sitting on my hands. I would text a Ravyn but I don't wanna wake her up if she is getting to sleep in.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Text her or WV if you have her # I am sure both would be happy to help. Especially if you feel it's an emergency. Or Pyxis.

I saw WV was on earlier but she has hatching going on too. lol
