Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain :
Oh Mom... :aww it's rough, but those babies that do hatch are so lucky to have you as a mom!
I understand... I just candled my Dorking eggs yesterday, day 9 & 15 and out of 26 eggs I have 10 left that I'm praying over.
And out of the 72 button quail eggs set... only 15 have hatched. (Yes, ACE, 15!!! one more hatched this morning!
) The first one hatched Monday, and on Thursday we had 10, and I thought it was done. I ALMOST threw the eggs away! But I've had 5 more hatch since then, so I'm just going to let them go until I've had 3 days without any hatching. LOL! What a
experience this has been!
The next hatch will be better... please post pics of your new babies?
We're rooting for them!!
Way to go! I'm currently on day 9 with my manchurians which means I have 6-9 more days before these babies hatch! I tried candling the lighter colored ones and saw veins and some movement.
And....someone help me.... I have 3 brooders going! And here I am waiting on 9 pheasant eggs off from
ebay and now here I go and buy....50 Coturnix eggs. A mix of the regular brown and the A&M whites. And I have more ducklings and chicks to arrive along with a gosling! I have a 4th brooder nearly finished and with th surplus babies I bought wire to make number 5. And the eggs I bought from Julie 12 of 15 have developed and have clear movement going on inside.
