I just wanted to update. I did my first assist on a peachick this morning. Wrong side/end pipper. Thanks to the wonderful breeders on the peafowl threads, AmyLynn, Walnut, and everyone else, I was able to successfully save him!! I don't even know how he managed to pip in the first place. I think he accidentally pipped while trying to turn. His head and beak were tucked under his legs in the pointy end of the egg. I hatched him right in my hand and his huge eyes looked right at me! (Seriously, peachicks have enormous sized eyes). He's doing good and resting. My second pip looks like it's making progress and the third egg has pipped!! I appreciate SC holding off on smacking me and everyon's confidence in me!! Thank you!!

Oh yeah, one more thing. If you are looking for a low hatch rate, this is the one and only time I will recommend this: LG 9300

For everything there is a purpose!!!!!

That was the PM guy...
This was SC at the beach:

Here I am!

Save your next bleach jug and make a killing cone. Screw it to a 2x4 and screw or clamp that to something bigger. That leaves you with two free hands. You can have the garbage bag in a bucket below and just pull up around the cone after the cut.

Great suggestion. I made one out of tin and used it last night on 16 meat birds. It went pretty well, but I would get a plucker next time. The kids got real tired of plucking.

I was going to look it up this morning, but you beat me to it. it's a very odd sight to be driving a boat down the salt water river in South Carolina, and sea monkeys on an island.
Rossfam, I will see if I can find it on the map. It's not really that far from Savannah, and just off the ICW

This is all I could visualize.

Air cells now marked on 24 of the eggs.

Couldn't see them on 6, and I dropped 1, but the membrane didn't crack, so I put it back in for now

Good luck!

That is awesome!!!
I've been wondering how it would turn out.
Just don't try it with a chicken, or you will get

Man, that takes me back. An entire civilization in a bowl. The ads were a little misleading, though...

Woohoo!!

I won't! Peafowl are much harder to hatch. But the experience gained is priceless!

Thank you all so much! #2 hatched! And is really feisty! Since the second it popped out of the shell it's trying to run around. It won't get far in the Brinsea MINI! Haha! And they said you couldn't hatch peafowl in the mini!
