I can not believe I woke up this morning to a little call duck in my bator pipped and zipped in the turner with its little beak sticking out of the hole in the egg. With a -- reading for the humidity in the bator! I had completely given up on this egg and had totally neglected it!
I had a big batch of chicks hatch on October 31 and also in the bator I had 5 Call duck eggs due to hatch on November 7, and some due on November 17 and November 21 When I moved the chick eggs to the hatcher some how the bator was unplugged and I did not notice it until the chicks started hatching so I think it had been unplugged for 3 days.
Several times I have thought I need to toss that egg and pick up the bators until the spring but did not do anything. Well this morning when I woke up and went into the kitchen to fix my bottle baby goat her bottle, I was standing at the sink and glanced over to the bator and thought today I will toss that egg and pick up the bators. As I am fixing the bottle I hear a little peeping
I will try and post some pictures later tonight.
