Dead embryos? :(
Our take
Oh, the cluck-tastic adventure of saving abandoned eggs while on vacation! It sounds like your dog has quite the keen eye for these potential feathered friends. With four embryos showing signs of life, it's understandable to feel both excitement and concern. Those blood vessels are indeed thrilling to see, but the uncertainty about that one egg can leave you feeling a bit frazzled. Fear not, as you’ve already taken a step in the right direction by ordering an incubator! In the meantime, let’s chat about those mysterious blood rings and what they mean for the future of your eggs. Join the conversation, and together we can figure out if your feathered friends still have a fighting chance!
| | On my vacation my dog recognized 7 abandoned eggs, I believe duck eggs. I didn't believe they had a chance, but 4 actually look healthy, with embryos and blood webs. One doesn't show anything yet, and those two make me worried. Are these blood rings, are they dead? When I saw they're developing earlier today I got so excited that I checked on them really often, also I don't have an incubator since I didn't expect them being alive, I just have a heat lamp and the temperatures aren't constant. I ordered one now, but it's arriving Saturday. Anyone here who can help me out, and tell me if these are beyond saving and if I did kill them? [link] [comments] |

- Are my eggs ok??At our school, all of the second grade classes are hatching ducks. Everyone has a different incubator from me. I have Brinsea - it doesn’t let me see the humidity level which is really worrisome. I’ve done everything right, but all of my eggs look like the first picture. All of my coworkers’s eggs are like the second picture. Are mine all dead? Or are they just somehow lagging behind? The internet is scaring and making me think they all have the ring of death. I will literally cry if that’s the case. The kids will be so upset and confused. submitted by /u/LeopardCivil2604 [link] [comments]
- Struggling Baby ChickI'm posting out of serious concern for a recently hatched baby chicken. I'm really worried and sad that the chick may not make it, so I ask for kindness in responses please. My hens have been tending to the eggs. This is my first time having hens to do the brooding and incubation. So far 4 have successfully hatched. This baby chick took over a day to hatch (so officially born fully yesterday evening). I checked up on it this evening and I see that one of its wings and side appear to be damaged (looks like a wound). The damaged wing looks like it may just be a nub? Additionally, on that same side of the chick its leg looks limp (apologies I'm having a hard time describing and it's difficult to take a photo with 2 hens brooding). The baby chick's eyes look like they're now closed, it's still chirping. Any recommendations/ideas/well wishes/thoughts and prayers? Tomorrow morning when the avian vet opens I'm going to call to see if I can bring it in. submitted by /u/ChibiBarbie [link] [comments]
- Help baby chicke nI volunteer at a place that has baby chicks, and the main bird volunteer is out of town and one of the babies is not doing well. This morning I found it on the bottom of the container with all the other baby chicks and it looked like it was dead, but it was moving a little so I gave it some egg yolk and Pedialyte mixed in a dropper and held it near the heater (not too close!) alternating betweeen heating it and heating it, for about 90 minutes. It had a lump on its chest, which I just learned is a crop. I had to leave for a while but is there anything I can try to purchase? I usually foster puppies and have lots of experience with sick puppies but none with birds. Please be kind - I am not knowledgeable but willing to read or learn to help until tomorrow when bird person comes back. submitted by /u/EmphasisFew [link] [comments]
- Look what hatched last nightOut of 12 eggs these are all the babies I've got, originally 11 hatched but unfortunately a little yellow chick just did not make it, I am slightly worried about the other solid yellow chick but it just seems a little bit off the other one was having a very hard time breathing, and the one egg that did not hatch looks like it stopped developing around day 10, although I feel like this was a very good hat besides those two, and I do have nine more eggs on lockdown hopefully they hatch but those are some eggs that I purchased submitted by /u/LifeguardComplex3134 [link] [comments]
