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


Oh my gosh!!! So adorable.. And she is such and awesome momma!:love
I went ahead and checked the last two eggs and was going to put a safety hole in one cause I knew they were all internal pipped a long long time ago. And this one already give up without ever externally pip ing. :hitIt made it so far too! View attachment 1360976 View attachment 1360977 View attachment 1360978see. . I probably could've saved it with a safety hole. .but it's so hard messing with them under an angry brood y. :th
:hugs:hugs:hugs
It's hard to know when. To step in..:(
I am now baby sitting the last egg in an icu cup :fl
I could see it had started zipping earlier when I was out there. .and thought it was stuck. I pulled the cap off and it's head popped out. . .it still has a little bit of yolk :oops:
Darned if you do and darned if you don't!! View attachment 1360987

I'm not sure about the light, if you can't put it in the bator, I'd say it's the next best thing. :fl:fl:hugs

Bator is full of eggs now lol. I just put the Styrofoam one back in the box last night so I can return it. . it's upstairs and figured this was faster. It's not a ton of yolk compared to what I've seen in quitters. I'd say about half of what you see in that pic of the one that didn't make it.

It's probably just fine then and long as it's staying warm with no draffts..:fl
 
All still alive. I removed some shells that were glued on.

I think his eye is swollen. View attachment 1361015
:celebrate :wee :clap :love
That's is fantastic!!!!!
The swelling will likely to down.. its just a guess but maybe it's due to it laying on that side of its head so long. Kinda like a new born human baby.. little puffy eyes...
I'd keep an eye on in case it was scratched by a piece of shell.. But I bet it'll be gone befor ya know it..:fl
