I leave mine with my daughter I do feel guilty as I know she will do good but not like mom does I also bring treats for the wild ducks at the lake as I miss seeing mine

Little different after 48 hours It’s very easy to candle the egg above the air cell at that point I can tell when they are ready to be helped without having to slowly open looking for veins When ready you can see through the egg and only see baby

I don’t recommend opening eggs like that when assisting I make a tiny pin hole and leave them be for 48 hours Naturally they don’t make big holes They make a crack and stay like that till zip. All they need is some air to get in but not big enough we can see in I would keep that membrane...

Baby is a little miracle This one will need a very special name :) This thread will help others that may come into a similar situation There is always hope ;) You need to give yourself a high five as well Yoy stayed calm and helped baby to be able to hatch !

Best news all day !!! Yay baby ❤️

If those veins are not red but more of a very pale pink to clear then he is very close or ready The egg being so easy to see through is the sign I use along with veins looking drained Maybe wet the membrane with coconut oil and see how the veins look if they look drained in and out then you...

Getting much closer I bet 4-6 hours he will be ready

It’s such a hard call It will keep that membrane moist but plastic wrap can be dangerous as well You have come this far with him I want him to make it Maybe make the plastic wrap hole bigger Just so it can’t go over his face at all

My fear is him pushing into it and getting his face stuck and suffocating Not sure it’s a good idea now that he can push

I have and one under my broody was day 30 Checking later should be fine as well

I still see red veins So he has a bit to go But has made progress as the egg is more clear ti see in Once those red veins go he will be ready Check in 6 -8 hours

Can you candle the egg and look for veins. When baby is absorbed you can see through I don’t want him to swallow plastic wrap so I’m a bit worried If you see veins maybe stick him in a cup and wrap dry paper towel around him but not covering his face

I would just let him continue to absorb No rush He has air to breath Keep humidity much higher then usual

You could tell when it got into the air cell so count 48-72 hours from then I find the bigger the opening the longer they take. They aren’t as rushed ti get air

Do you see veins still
