Pics please!!

I'm really bad about writing the dates down too. I keep a spreadsheet on my laptop with details on every hatch and sometimes it's days after I set them when I remember to update the sheet!

I candled my eggs last night, and most of them are still good. I have 4 call duck eggs in my bator that are a week behind the first, and only one of them is doing good. The other 3 have blood rings

Not sure if it is because of them being transported home in a bowl with quail eggs, or if I have done something else to them. All of my own duck eggs are doing well, except for one or two that look clear, so I don't understand what went wrong.

oegblady~~ I have heard both 23 and 26 days on calls. I believe the 26 days is more for mallards and BEI's, so just to be safe I would stop turning them on day 21. It won't hurt them if you stop turning them early.

Bummer on the blood rings, Shelley. I had one that got a blood ring in with Squishy's hatch bunch (before I put them in the hatcher), ended up tossing it.
