My flashlight died

I haven't candled the other eggs.

Looks pretty good. If you go back in get rid of the stuff at the blunt end so it can move its neck.

It has been quiet on the threads I am subscribed to on BYC so I hit the home page looking for posts to help with.

Kathy and I are helping someone with a vent gleet question.

Gotta stop that one soon...it might spoil my lunch!

That's an interesting one, one that I'd like to experiment with. Regarding vent gleet... I had one the other day and it turned out her gleet was from worms and maybe bacteria, but not yeast. Treatment for her was worming and antibiotics and it cleared up. You can read about it here:

I'm staying away from the incubator. I'm too tempted to help it any more.

Um yeah, I was going to eat, then I read that bit Kathy. Gross. Now I'm not hungry for leftover duck kale parmigiano risotto.

People joke about me doing necropsies with one hand and eating from the other, lol.

Lol. Well, it just looks a bit to similar to your hens vent gleet mess. So ya, too close for my tastes. I meant my intended lunch.

Can y'all tell me if I could hatch some pekin ducks with my turkey and chicken eggs? Or does the humidity have to be higher?

I've hatched pekins with chickens. They were fine.
