Yes, today is day 20.... Why?

I think mine are on day 20 too. Let me candle and we can compare. Be right back.

Ok, compare them to the metzer chart if you can...

 

[QuackerJackFarms]

OK, I see black lines at the top, fluid and some floaty things in a couple of them. (which I also saw in the appleyards). And they are about half an inch from the top. I'm going to metzers now.

 

[QuackerJackFarms]

Mine look day 24. No way they look like day 20. Weird.


ETA: I'd maybe even say day 25.

Yes, but mine are the same as yours. I'm going with us. Who knows if they used the same egg on their pics. And they have different big huge walk in bators. We do not.

Those are all my excuses. lol.

I'm not worried. If they're moving they are getting blood. And that is just used as a guide. It's not the ducky law.

I have been helping her every couple of hours like a would a duck. There is yolk EVERYWHERE in this egg. I mean... this is crazy. I think I can see the yolk sac down in the bottom, It's about the size of a quarter. Pretty sure that's not a foot, but who knows. Things look different in this egg.

Also, she has what looks to me to be labored breathing.

That does not sound good. Are you planning to stay up? Pete may be online in a few hours.

Yes, I'm staying up. I've been watching for him.

Have you ever helped one out before?
