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

[CluckNDoodle]

Sorry if I missed some messages or if I misunderstood the emu video but was the emu egg stinky because it died some time ago?

Missed messages?!?! You mean you more important things in life than a hatch-a-long?! lol

lol, you’re not allowed to do anything but chicken. That’s it!

Based on the size of the embryo, I’m guessing it was about a week old? Which would mean it died I little over two weeks ago. I put Fizzgig in the incubator 2/1. I’m sure over time bacteria takes over and grows like crazy in the egg and starts to smell BAD. I have yet to have a chicken egg go stinky so I can’t compare, but emu eggs get really stinky. Knock your socks off type stinks.

I just wish it was one of the other eggs Fizzgig could have been white!

Aww
Okay I guess that’s the info I missed, that you set them on 2/1. Glad you were able to narrow it down before it became a really horrible problem.

Oh I know shame on me for skimming and scanning the messages too fast Long day, I was just trying to find stinky emu egg info.

Ok, I’m a bit confused. I tought You candle day 18 and transfer to the hatcher on day 19. Thats also what my hatchabatch app says znd as I recall it’s what I did the previous years. But now I started using Ichatch-chickens app and it’s letting me know I need to transfer them to the hatcher today (day 18). I’m on holliday. It’s a 40 minute drive home, so I could do it if really necessary but off course would rather not.

Oh, and these eggs have been set 2/16 at noon

If they were set on the 16th, then they are halfway through day 11. Will you be gone another week? I think the app is confused, lol.

I have two incubators running and after last Saturday's short power outage I am just hope that I have a good hatch. Green egg layers in one incubator and a mix of many breeds in the other. The power was off for about 4 hours and everyone has assured me in the thread I started about it that they should still hatch, just later. My prayers and vigilance for these eggs...

 

[igorsMistress]

That's what I was afraid of. My eggs are all shipped, with mostly slippery air cells. Maybe I should order a new turner for the Hovabator

I got a new one because the roll around one was too loud. I keep my incubator in my office and work @ home. Otherwise I was hand turning and was afraid I'd forget. I added a humidikit too and it's great! If you've ever had issues with humidity I highly recommend one. Our climate is so dry and humidity was always a major battle.

They'll be fine if you wait until you get home.
