incubator and eggs ... daily update

[BrideXIII]

of course you will try again, stubborn mare like you? can't see you giving up until you achieve success, besides all is not lost with these yet, so wait...

[Polly Fouracre]

It would be awful to crack open the shell and find a live chick in there just waiting his time to come out!!
Wait until there is no hope which is at least a week after D. Day!!

[Flummery]

It happened to Snadger and his broody-hatched eggs too. At this time of year, fewer eggs are fertile. I hope you manage another lot but Id give it a few months if it were me.

[lynda66]

i guess the most annoying bit is that 5 were definitely fertile, so that's not the problem, ok i'll wait .... it's just frustrating i want to see inside them now to see hwat happened ..... anyway have just been to ikea and got a big box of my fave biccies and lots of choccie so i'm gonna pig out on crap to make me feel better.

Nothin like choccie to make the world a better place

[Hazel at the Hill]

.... and lots of choccie so i'm gonna pig out on crap to make me feel better.

Hope that means that you had the postie delivering you a parcel today...

Edit: er - that's not going to make sense if he hasn't, actually.....?

[scarey55]

I know what you're going through Lynda if it's any consolation.

Still don't give up though as there's always hope. If it helps ditch one 'sloshy' one each day from now on!

Try picking the egg up and giving a gentle shake.......if it souinds 'sloshy' at this stage, it's a dud!

If you do decide to break it.........stand well back (or drop it in Woolworths like we did as kids) Pooooooooooooo!!!

Just make sure you keep your head well clear and avoid the explosion!

[lynda66]

crap innit snadge think i'll just do them all at once, get it over with ..... i think i'll resist the woolworths urge lol ...... and i've got some vicks for under my nose

[Bephlam]

yeah, do them all at once...but not tomorrow. Please please please give it another few days...you don't want to go ahead and do it too early!!!

[lynda66]

ok i will, just hope they don't explode lol ...... will not be looking forward to having to clean up all that goo

[Johnny Appleseed]

Best wishes on the outcome lynda

Can you see anything / shadow/ silhouettes at all with a strong torch under the eggs in a darkened room?

Should doing this form part of the "Odd Hobby" thread

[lynda66]

i could see the babies last time i looked with the torch ...... there was definitely 5 big ones, even in the really dark egg
