Blood spots are not what you are looking for to determone the fertility of the egg. It is the big white polka dot.
Good luck.

Thanks all.
I did a Google to see what the white spot should look like.

Bullseye !

I need to do those for her ... we tried elimination diets to no effect. She can really have a bad reaction to many lotions, including all sunscreens but the really chemically nasty clear ones. She uses Protopic and a second perscription steroid cream that help womewhat, but one increases cancer risk and the other thins the skin, so I don't like to use them unless she is really itching badly. She uses Shea Butter okay, and dove, but it does not help much. When she was a baby, I tried Burts Bees Sensitive Skin lotion for babies, and she had a horrible reaction to it. She also can't use Badger Balm products, so DS and I use up all the things I try for her.

Sodium Laruel Sulfate is very harsh for folks with eczema. It si found in tooth paste, saop, shampoo, detergent etc. It is the sudsing agent.
I've changed all my soapy stuff in he house & I got rid of my eczema.
So far so good.

How come there is only one duckling? Did the other not make it in the bator??
I'm expecting one next week cause the other one did not make it.

Hope it actually hatches.

Eczema is quite the nuisance, DH suffers from it. But it usually flares up when he is under stress, so i got him some creams and lotions, his dermatologist told him to "pamper" himself

so we just have to keep an eye on it. The odd thing is he doesn't realize he breaking out until he has scratched himself half bloody. Then its about 4 days of the "pamperazation"

And stop eating wheat for 3 weeks or so, and see what happens.
There is plenty of wheat free cake and bread mixes out there.
The kids can still eat most chocolate, potatoe chips, corn chips and you can make them cookies & cake.
Seriously, if I eat wheat, I am SICK, rashed, like itchy eczema, on arms, elbows, forhead and scalp, and generally itchy needles & pins all over.
Sometimes it can get so out of hand I end up with derma grafica, raised welts from touching anything..caused by the immunal system attacking the skin that merely had sensation (like a breeze or a comb throught the hair, or heat, or cold, sensation to the nervous system and the immunal system attacks !)
BTW: Blue Cheese cultures are grown in bulk on bread..and injected into the cheese wheels by giant hypodermic needles, that is why sometimes you get a hunk of blue cheese that has that arrow straight tunnel through it full of blue mold.
Gorganzola is the same.
Blue cheeses contain gluten.
Cut out wheat (gluten) and see what happens.

Question for those who have allergies or kids with allergies, do you or they, have dark circles under their eyes ?
It is called "allergic shiners" you can google it and see what I mean.
If I eat wheat, besides all the other symptoms of rash, eczema & itching, I get deep purple circles under my eyes.
My son has this too, but will not stop eating wheat, he thinks I am full of applesauce.
Too bad, cuz you can do damage every day to your intestines & lymphatic glands in the abdominal cavity, and have thin tooth enamel, and otherwise POOR absorption of vitamins & nutrients.

OK kids, big news here:
Today is MOT & his girl's 6 mo old birthday (hatched Aug 27th, 2010)..so I have been watching & the gil's rose combs are reddening up nicely & MOT has stepped up to the task of Studly Dudly, and this morning, on their 6 MO OLD birthday!!
PRESTO !! A BIG FART EGG!!
Look how big it is !
Shown sitting in with store bought XL eggs for comparison, it is a darker cream than a rock egg, and has dark brown speckles, very pretty!
I like !
Hope they get just a tad bigger !
Pretty big fart egg huh ?
(yes we have to buy store bought eaten eggs !)

I rolled it so you can hopefully see the speckles..

YIPPEE! Finally some eggs to eat!

They have chicks now!

I have the dark circles. I am allergic to just about anything airborne, but I live with animals, and I garden. I don't expect them to ever go away.

I do NOT miss Parvo season..

being a cats only hospital, we don't see that.
I always felt SO bad for those dogs.. they feel AWFUL, and it is so expensive to get them to live through the whole ordeal. Yes, a vaccine is much much cheaper.

Jen works at a cat house

CL you are a "quack up"...."eggsilerating".

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Jen: Somehow I missed it when you posted back the comment. I hate seeing these pups with Parvo and know what they are going to have to go through because of their dumb person.

Edited: The baby ducky made the "quack up" comment come to mind. Sorry. I didn't sleep well last night and I am tired.
