Ok, what's up w/ the string/rope?

Mine would have hung themselves

It is not thin enough to hang themselves, but it is so the hatching chicks do not play soccer with the eggs, and when they are hatching the egg gets more purchase, and doesn't just rock back and fourth. It also keeps the eggs from touching the incubator walls. The walls would cool the developing egg.

Welcome to the Hatching Fowl Photo Contest. The stressful time of watching your baby fowl grow in the egg is now over, and hatching can begin. So get your cameras out because this contest is for photos of chicks, ducks, emus, quail, or any other domestic fowl hatching. At least one of the birds must be still partially in the eggshell (see pics of past winners below for examples).

If entries warrant, we will have two categories, landfowl & waterfowl, with prizes for both categories.

Prizes - Three 3-month PFMs

It's easy to enter, reply to this thread & attach (upload) your domestic fowl hatching photos!

To increase your chances of winning, please read the rules before entering.
