So what do I need to do for them now to keep them from drying out? They are all talking LOUDLY and Fluffy is talking back to them. I worry they will dry out though sitting like that waiting to absorb all their nutriunts.

Most of these are eggs from Jonny and Robyn, my SA and my Buff. There might me one Pekin in there too,

The bottom one was moving around so much it was hard to get a pic of him. It may be a cayuga if I remember correctly. I think Greg brought one up to me that Sophia laid the day he took her home.

SM, so sorry you haven't had a better result, I really am. I'm sure you're feeling pretty miserable about it.

I think you had the eggs upright for the incubation? I'd lie them down next time. Waterfowl do better that way. As for the shrink wrapping..that could just be a reflection of too much time passing before they can get themselves out. I'm not sure though. I'll see if my duck books are any help (when I get up...it's 3am here).

Wulf, you wouldn't really want a koala. They are bad tempered. With huge claws.

The goosey. Do you have a paper towel you can wrap him in?

I take water and wet them down every 30 minutes when they get that way. But that's just me. I do it with my finger.

SM, with the ones you've helped, see if you can gently get the head out. Don't force it though.

DG - happy birthday!!!!!!!!!
