Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

[QuackerJackFarms]

I am going to clean the hatching incubator once these four eggs are done before moving anymore into the hatching incubator. What would you recommend for quick cleanings between my hatchings? Several of my eggs are not developing so I don't have as many as we started with so my hatches will not be every day. As well could I move the egg(s) back into the egg turner incubator with the turner off during a quick cleaning?

Not sure if this will help you now.. but in the future maybe. I put a piece of shelf lining down in mine and then I can just pull it up afterwards and a lot of the gunk and stuff stays on that.

so my ducks started laying feb 6th, and since then i have gotten 88 eggs.

woah girl.

BTW: You alright?

Morning all,

Iain GREaT job! You did it slow and steady and looks like you have a nice set of new ducklings. If everyone is free enough to breath then get some rest you had a very long nite.


Out of all of the 2/29 set goose eggs 4 are about half a day behind the others right now. Massive aircell dips over night in the rest and lots of shadowing and pushing this morning. Hoping the 9 Khaki eggs speed up some so I can take over the large hatcher.

Thanks Celtic! I had to help the egg the is cut off in the front of the picture. The membrane was stuck to his back and could not break fre. So, I hatched him out completely. The first internal pip egg is hatching out now.

I so want to go to sleep.... but with 3 eggs to go.....

Ah, I wondered what had happened to DaBH. Interesting that what he was calling Bessemers are really just JBOs. We don't have JBOs here.

Love that blue Mallard. We call that Blue Fawn. Mallard with one dose of Blue.

G'Morning! My BO hen is in to egg eating! Isn't that sarcsastically wonderful?! Cake looks yummy!

We call Blue Mallard Blue Fawn up here in canada, too.

And I doubt DaBh will ever try anything like that again. I hope. BYC will probably see a new Bessie thread in a few years, when the Bessemer project is completed, but he probably wont like it! We are trying to do a three color project: WBB, Blonde, and WBG with the new Bessies. He wont like that either.

And you wanna know something even bizarre-er?.... the name Bessemer was originally my idea...... thief.

Awww. poor babies. It's so sad to see them at this stage so you gotta post pics when they are all dried off and acting more chipper. What a night for you girl. Props for staying up with them and seeing them all into this world.

P.S. Get some sleep you deserve it.

Here is my bator.... hoping the 3 internal pips can get out on their own when ready. Hoping to leave the SA egg alone for at least a few more hours.



Chicken, not sure about last week's set, but this set took a heat/humidity beating during last week's hatching when I was trying to save an egg. This time around, I was better about remembering to micro-manage the other bator when steaming up room to hatch these guys.
