Who is with me?

I have 2 pipped eggs (small bantie eggs) and it is only day 19, so I think that is right for them. My small eggs always seem to pip around the 19th day. They sound very healthy so

that nothing goes wrong.

riqui, there is no such thing as incubating without drama. The drama is all part of it when a human decides to do the birds job. You will see what I mean eventually.

The rest of the eggs are due in 2 days, 4 days and 5 days.

I have 4 and 5 up front so I only have to slightly open and turn them quickly.

By the way Chickie_mama, when is your peafowl eggs due?

Riqui, you may see movement, but sometimes you just have to watch closely. Go ahead and check the egg and if you are not sure of what you are seeing put it back in. If you have a clear egg, or one that looks rotten smell it and if it does not stink put it back in. I learned so you will too.

By the way, what are you using to check them?

Ok, I have just had a chance to get back on here.

CB, I am so sorry Gauze passed away!

That is one very nice looking horse. Thank goodness I do not have the room for horses!

As for the RGP.........

Gonna have to get some of those!!!!!

FIL raised RGPs when the kids were younger. When I mentioned to Hubby that the RGPs sure were beautiful, his response was, "absolutely not!" Of course, that was his response when I said I wanted peafowl. I told him my friend sent me 2 "surprise" eggs. I just can't wait to see what they turn out to be!

What day are the peafowl due? I forgot already. Have you checked them lately?

What a goofy question that was.

 

[chickie_mama]

Peababies are due next week. A week from Today!!!!

Both are still going strong!

 

[countrybum]

Mine is still going strong also, due the 29th.

I have another pip and the first 2 still are not out. The waiting is the hardest part.

I keep staring at the crack and hole in the poult egg through the press-n-seal but it's working - he's still moving and breathing.

One of the chicks I stuffed under the hen turkeys I found outside their pen. He's warming up and keeping the turkey egg company, figure it will be good for the turkey to hear someone banging around.

 

[countrybum]

Still waiting.

I keep checking on them and nothing, just chirping and pips.

The turkey poult managed to pip into the aircell - that's better than the other ten from these two hens.... sigh... The last one near hatching pipped into the air cell and died almost immediately, huge unabsorbed yolk attached. At least for this one I'm here, He'll get all the help he needs if he'll just stay alive.

I put Spaz in with the too little guinea and a left over chick, and that's keeping him from making me crazy for the moment. Threw the larger guineas out with the older chicks, that rocked their noisy little - I can fly faster than you can move world... That'll show em. Beetle is wicked fast and kicking their asses all over the brooder. Go Beetle.

Well, I just checked again, nothing yet. I did have another pip, just at the wrong end of the egg. I checked it, peeled back where the pip was and thought it was dead. So I peeled back a little more and removed the outer portion and a tiny beak moved. So I too I wrapped with cling wrap, leaving beak exposed.
