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

[Ravynscroft]

No worries I didn't sterilize them yet lol! I'll start wiping tomorrow, I'm too tired tonight to handle eggs I value if I can help it. Clumsy happens!

Prime example of all the different info that's out there. Some people really want to clean them, others dead set against. Easy to get lost in that thread then scratch your head trying to apply it to calls.

All the embryos are actively wiggling around. Think I have good odds of getting a few with 9 alive this long?

Cleaning with plain water is one thing, applying things that can be absorbed through the shell and possibly harmful to the embryo is another...

I actually had to wash off a set myself that are in the bator... but those are my own, and my choice...

hopefully, yes... I never count my Calls til they hatch... and make it a week afterwards...

I tried to find some local ones to up my numbers so the odds would be better but nothing close enough to pick up came along. I found out a breeder named Art Lungren isn't far away but no luck getting in touch.

You're close to Art Lundgren???

Those would be super typey Calls... dunno what he charges though... didn't know he was still breeding too...

Maybe he isn't and that's why I'm not getting a call back. But I might try again, you never know. I got the number from someone who knows him so maybe I'll try through that route. He's about an hour away. Likely a budget buster huh?

Maybe... maybe not... worth a shot, I'd say...
