Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Date sort Score sort
After yesterdays surprise of all sebbies and the regular toulouse showing spiders, today I found that the muscovys (pied and lavanders) are all also spidered, and two more old english games have shown now (it was 1 of 7). All serve to remeind me to give them 10 days before last call.


I'm telling you, Iain, I'm gonna assist every egg in that bator, if it comes to it. I know what to do, and I'm going to get over my antiquated notions about unpipped eggs.

I hope Erins other two come around, they look very good otherwise, but one is a bit watery. From what I've read, the large goose eggs are not only the hardest eggs to hatch, they ar as delicate on the inside as a quails, and it is not uncommen to only get a 50% hatch from good local eggs. (but if I get one, I'm gonna eat it!)

If your dewlaps candle w/spiders, let me know. PM me, and let me know your ladys contact, if she's willing. DH and I were talking about your eggs today. I've shown him some pics, and he's on board. I just hope their are some laying in 3 weeks. I dont think I could have room until 4 days before easter, when I can spare a bator. I would like to make neccessary arrangements before the fact, though. Where is she again? State wise...

Hey Marty, that is how I feel about the 2 Cayuga eggs. Am surprised to see movement stll tonight on day 22. I am planning to help them. All 8 Ancona "take a chance" eggs are rocking, including the one with the bad crack. I have 3 blues, so I will get to see if they hatch out more pretty colored babies.

I also see spiders in all 6 new Cayuga eggs on day 4. I have a great feeling about them!
And, dare I say it.. I think I see a teeny beginning spider in the one intact air cell Toulouse egg from Erin. Stilll holding out hope for 2 others too.

I understand. After two crap haches in a row, on the tail of a very modest hatch, I'm feeling like I must be jinxed, but I know in fact there was a problem, and I've got to get it fixed. So, bleached a bator, ordered more fresh eggs from recomended sources, ordered two more bators when I got a little overzealous in the new egg and ebay dept, and life goes on.

I'd help. I used t say no, but I'm coming around on this. There are many reasons to hatch, and a bad hatch doesn't mean a weak or bad baby. Every Egg is Important.

I am so incredibly excited right now!! I finally had the nerve to candle my duck eggs at the end of day 28. I had not heard any sounds or seen movement after 28 days. My hope was really fading away and I was very nervous about seeing what was happening inside the eggs. The mallard egg's air sack had more than doubled in size and I could hear a kind of chewing sound inside!! I really hope that the little baby is going to make it out of it's shell. My crested egg still has another day before it's due to hatch. I could not hear noises or see any difference in its development. My Welsh Harlequin seems a little underdeveloped. I feel confident that my mallard has a chance. I finally have a little glimmer of hope that atleast one baby may have an opportunity to hatch in the next day or two:)
 
Come on baby duck!!

its just disappointing .
but it still early in the season.
and these eggs were not paid forr eggs (which meakes this somewhat easier)
i do have many hens to do my work for me. so either way i can still have fluffies.\
im not giving up just yet.
afte this hatch/disaster lol. i am going to scrub the bator. halfway into this hatch grandma tells me she has neve cleaned it .
th.gif
just simply picked the yucky pape towels up off the wire and wiped off any gunk.


she also keeps telling me i must be doing something wrong. im tired of that lecture.
but celtic gave me very good advice.
and like always calmed me down somewhat .
