When they get that gooy stuff forming that's what it looks like when you candle them from the smaller end. That is more likely a blob of gooy stuff, now the fourth egg isn't bad but that second one could be a mess.


But notice how they are alllll facing the correct way???? They are all aiming up. By her having them placed with the larger end slightly higher then the smaller end, this really helps to avoid upside downers. If they were laying flat, we might have had another issue like that..

And is that they same for chicks? I have always been instructed to have the eggs lay flat 3 days before they are due to hatch And THANK GOODNESS no upside-downers this time

Even with chicks I stop turning them four days before and lay them with larger end up. Then three days before due dat they get locked down..
 
Chickens though can actually hatch in or on a turner with it off. They are more flexible, you could say. They could be an in egg carton as well. But for diucks
That's a huge NO NO. DUCKS have to be laying down all time in order to have a great hatching..
 
Ahahahahah well first of all it's like 4:00 a.m in the morning and I've read each post atleast 2 times on here.. Ok I almost passed out at the part where she took the duckling outta da egg and yall flipped your bricks and everyone started taking blame for not being clear enough... Lol. I felt like they were MY gooey eggs that I was trying to hatch..

Well.
I was in her shoes..



And I might of stretched them a little too...

( teehee pun intended):clap

So do you think this has traumatized ALHmama and she won't hatch ducklings anymore??? Hope not....sure is a good thing she passed on painting her toes and went to bed...she's gonna need her rest for tomorrow!!!

Hatching is sooooo addicted, I doubt it if she stops. Lol. She's gonna want to keep trying until they have hatched out by themselves, watch you'll see she's already infected with the disease it's just got to enter the entire body. Lol
