Egg update

suttysue · 17-04-2014, 05:15 PM

Hi folks, hers an update on my HORSEFIELD eggs all 2 of them!
Have just candled them whilst squatting inside my cupboard! They where laid between 27-29th March it's now the 17th of April. Have also weighed them. Egg 1 started at 29grm and is now 25grm when candeled the yolk wich is settled at the bottom of the egg and is looking quite large. Egg 2 weighed 27 gr to start and now weighs 25gr. When candeled it looks exactly the same as the first egg.
Humidity is fluctuates between 75-80 0/0 the incubator temp is between 25 and 33c.
Not ideal I fear but all I could manage!
Any comments PLEASE
thanks Sue

I know you are struggling with temps, but 25c is far too low:0(

Your temperature shouldn't go lower than 28C. From what you said you saw inside the eggs, it doesn't sound good sadly. You should be able to see veins and the embryo by now.

I don't know what you used this time but perhaps look for a 2nd hand incubator Sue? If shes laid once its only a matter of time until she does again & might be sooner than you think- with your 10/10 trying his best!
