DH was out and I told him about the ice cream, and he brought me home this



Not ice cream but still YUMMY!

maybe.... soft freeze them, then mix them in some ice cream, then microwave for 20 seconds..... or just nuke them, squish them, then mix in ice cream..... At the very least I'm picking up ice cream on the way home!!!!

It looks like an internal pip. The chick will poke a hole in the membrane about day 18.

I would set the eggs up for lockdown now.

I'm responding because no one has yet, but I'd wait for someone experienced to confirm. It looks like a pore, but that chick looks full and ready to hatch so good luck with the hatch!

Umm ok ? . Still air incubator temps at 100% degrees I now increase humidity to what? Which way should my eggs be facing? Nervous excitement??

Everyone will give you a different humidity answer, I got mine to 55 humidity and all my ducks hatched perfect. But I live in a dry state, it depends on environment

I was wondering what an internal pip actually looked like!
