Thanks QJF

. How have you been?

Can't complain I guess.

OMG!!! I'd have had a heart attack on the spot!!!!

It was, and still is, a sensitive area for her. She LOVED that horse.

 

[QuackerJackFarms]

You got the paniky part down

But I did fine my very first hatch, why is it so different now

Your hygrometer is off. That's what different. Has to be.

Hi Evelle! See ya on FB!


I just set 8 eggs. So fingers crossed that these are actually fertile.

QJ, They lady who sent me these eggs, said she will send me more for the price of shipping, should I say yes? I don't know what to say!

QUESTION!!!

My 1st african just internally pipped.... and the 2nd one is right behind it. My toulouse eggs look to be at least 12-24 hours away from internal pipping.

Darn it... I was hoping that by setting africans 8 hours after toulouse that they would be on same pipping schedule... I am thinking I should remove toulouse and put back in other bator?

Say yes. You know you want to.

 

[DUCKGIRL89]

Say yes. You know you want to.

Would you get more??

Iain, I would so they don't have to deal with the higher humidity.

DG what's different is you have read more, "think" you have helping figured out, and have faulty equipment. Knowledge is not always power. It really can lead to more head aches. As far as the new eggs, that's something only you can figure out. Is it good timing, do you have bator space, what is your schedule when they are set to hatch? Will you have the money for the eggs and new equipment to know you have the best chance possible?

We have a wrong way Sebbie, a wrong way American Buff and a Wrong way black and white Scovy. All three ran in different bators, just flipping lucky I guess.

The Sebbie is a small egg, I am 97% sure it was never going to turn on its own. It is going strong though and has clear nares and weeping at me non stop.

The American is a very large but oddly shaped egg with an elongated and narrow tip.

The Scovy, who knows its one of the recued nest eggs from when the lake duck went missing.

They are all strong, talking and clear opening for breathing for the night.

1 Sebbie out another Sassy/Sampson baby
1 grey saddleback Pomeranian also out
All of the khaki and buffs have hatched and are drying.

Ok, Celtic. That is what I was thinking too. I hope I can make room since I set all those duck eggs this morning. I wanted to at least bump humidity into low 60s overnight so that it will only require minor bumping in the morning. Your african eggs are sure strong hatchers!

Seriously... What is up with wrong end pippers? Glad they are in your skilled hands!
