day 12 and tragedy......................# 4 rolled out last night. Last night was our coldest day of the season

I went out there at 7 am and saw it! I put it back, but the poor egg was ice cold. We got down to 25 last night. Poor eggy

It might be okay... keep hoping. They can be more resilient than we give them credit for!

Don't give up on it yet! I just had a little call duck hatch today after the bator had accidently come unplugged early in the incubation.

Hey mrandmrschicken! My #4 hasn't rolled out again

Tonight I plan on candling and scoping them out (not that I even have a clue what I am looking for)

Thanks Red! I just hope it didn't get too cold

Just got back from candling the eggs. SO it is day 20.......all the eggs just look full. Of what I am not sure. They don't look veiny anymore...just full

Not 100% sure what that means. Perhaps full of chicks? Full of yuck fixing to explode?

Oops............we are only on day 13! Sorry about that.
