Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

I'm thinking about hatching a shell less egg... Anyone want to watch me try?

I would definitely watch! Just be aware that the chances of success are very low so don't get your heart set on it!

First of my chicks hatched today and 4 more are close to hatching!

I saw one on YouTube from a China college. I'm going to try it. I'll make a thread for it.

My husband needs to get me supplies, but I'll be doing it for sure. I'll make the thread now and tag it in here

Dont you need like microscopic holes in the cup at the top so that the chicks can be oxygenated like the egg does naturally in the wild, how do you think you will be able to do that without special equipment. I would love to try, keep us updated please!

Yes. But I feel like it'll die

if you can see the beak, and you can see a clear path through the membrane with no veins, you could make it a breathing hole.

I don't think you need a microscope. I've watched several videos on it. I'm going to test a few different ways. I'll keep you updated for sure.

Kids are home for 2 weeks so I figured we would do egg experiments I have plenty of eggs for it. About 5 dozen.

Mine just got word they're home til mid-April. So, need to start coming up with experiments here too. Haha.

I'm scared I want to pull it's bill out so it's not stuck in there drowning. My husband said he'd let me keep it if I can save it.
