Yay, QJ! You have a cool hubby!

By the way, why do ducklings scoot backwards when pooping? How long before they grow out of that? It's very funny!

OMG I know! Isn't that precious? I'm not sure why some do that.

Hubby is pretty awesome, but I did get "the lecture" last night. Ya know, the one where he says, "So, do you have a limit that your thinking about? And what is that number."

 

[Iain Utah]

Just curious.... How many birds do you have and how many eggs are in your bator?

 

[CelticOaksFarm]

Never enough birds and never enough eggs

Thanks for the welcome!

michaelinnc84 Welcome!
My incubator was at 104 when I woke up. It's been chillier the last few days and running a little cooler, so I turned it up a bit and it was where it was supposed to be a few hours later, but I guess shot up sometime over night. I just got done candling and can still see ducklings moving in all but one. The one I can't see I'm not sure on, so I'll recheck later.

if i just let it go what will happen?
or would sealing it with wax help?

Elmer's glue is what I've read to use on a crack.

 

[country_girl011]

i think im going to put some bees wax on it when i turn at 2
see how it goes.

If we ever have an egg cracked that we really want a shot at hatching I use a white crayon and melt the tip and gentely rub across the crack.
