Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

The incubator dropped last night, to 52 degrees, killed every last one of the pipped eggs. Any chance the others are ok?

OH NO!!!

I am SO sorry

Thanks Banty. What makes it worse is I actually had a guy waiting for these.

Oh no , I am so sorry to hear that, I wished I knew anything at all to tell you but I don't know

Not helpful I'm sure..Did you candle them? Any signs of movement?
I had as egg I blindly incubated under a heat lamp and when I was unsure I would put the egg in a cup of warm water and look for movement obviously the eggs didn't have any external pips yet , maybe you could try that with the remaining eggs???
So sorry that happened, I know that you must be sick

Nope, they're no good, here's a unpipped egg, completely shrink wrapped.

Thanks Lucy. Not sick exactly, just very disappointed and upset.

Don't beat yourself up too much..

Sorry, Dan - thats terrible.

Same with my TSC and feed store.  The Prince medicated chick starter sold at my feed store had amprolium plus an antibiotic covered in the VFD, so I understand that one.  But Corid?  But feeds that were formulated with Amprolium alone?  WTH?

Haven't checked the meds rack but our TSC still sells medicated chick starter.

So sorry Dan !

Good morning Pondies! Look what I cracked open for breakfast! AND it came from a five month old Jumbo Cornish Hybrid that we have in with a Jersey Giant roo.

Ok, maybe alls not lost, I was (carefully) removing the membrane on the unpipped egg and it opened its eye and looked at me.
