I got my deep clean on half my teeth yesterday. It went well other then the Novocain. Apparently I had a reaction to the epinephrine as I started shaking and my heart started racing. It only lasted a few minutes but that was long enough. The next half she will use another kind. Monday I start the process to get braces... never thought I’d do something like that but my front teeth started shifting about 9 years ago and it bothers me. They used to be perfectly straight naturally. Apparently you can’t just get them for the front teeth, you have to have the whole set:th

They probably have to readjust your bite. Or move your other teeth back in order to make room for your front teeth to straighten.
I hope for your sake that you don't have to wear headgear or elastics like I did.

Over in the hatching forum. I do not know where it came from as a normal part of incubation. It is way down on the list of things to do at the end of incubation.

There was a video going around a few months ago of a man doing it on an emu egg. He had a valid reason for doing it, but I don't feel that it was thoroughly explained exactly why he was doing it. Now everybody thinks that it needs to be done.

I remember Kathy in MO posting about a person hatching emus near her that was messing up Emu hatches by assisting.

Also, Emus are not chickens and their shell is very hard

Yup. In this case it had internally pipped several days before the safety hole was made. I think that's the part people missed. Now, as soon as there's an internal pip, they think that a hole needs to be made right away.

When I saw a post about that I replied that the lack of Oxygen was needed for the development of the chick and to get it ready to pip and zip. I do not think they listened to me though.

Why can't they look at your badges and see that you just might know what you're talking about.

They don't ever listen until it's too late, then wonder why they failed! I see this happening all the time in the incubating/hatching threads...."Help! Help! What do I do now?"

As I said before, rather dangerous to the chick...bacteria has easy access when the shell has been compromised. The membrane will dry out causing "shrink wrapped" chicks, and possible wounds, ruptured veins, etc...not a good practice.
Another thing they don't consider is, what worked for one person, may or may not work for another. That's why when I give advice, I use a disclaimer in my reply, "This worked for me, you may and probably will have a different response".
