Super Hatch Test

[prettyinpink]

Oh wow that makes me even more excited!!!! Can't wait - Please share when they hatch

 

[robin]

i will for sure. they were laid on the 22th of june so the time is coming very soon!

 

[robin]

good and bad

well they hatched. first off let me say that there is a disturbing photo.

one hatched out fine but has a small yolk sack attached. the other died trying to come out of the egg. however it has a HUGE yolk sack. i am wondering if it could not get through the slit it made because of the size of it's yolk sack or if it got some of the super hatch got in its mouth and lungs. i will get russ to look later.

here are photo of the two

first the so far healthy looking baby. she is small and has a small yolk sack left

here is the one that died HUGE yolk sack

i have two more eggs in there. i am going to add some more watcher (hopefully that will address the yolk sack problem)
so far, if these end up being the kind of results i get with super hatch i will throw it out and continue with my old vermiculite

Oh I'm so sorry

I'm sure your experience will help others learn. I look forward to hearing what goes next.

I'm sorry Robin.

I've been using Superhatch for 2 1/2 seasons now with great results. I'm even using it in my SIM container.

 

[robin]

yeah, i am waiting on the next set of eggs to hatch now

I'm sorry that happened Robin, hopefully the next ones will be okay. Thanks for all the updates

I'm sorry Robin.

Do you have any airholes? Is the grid above the Superhatch? I'm thinking about getting a couple SIMs since my hatch rate hasn't been up to par.

 

[robin]

i do not use the SIM. i have air holes i use deli cups. this is the only death of a baby trying to hatch.. the original eggs were not in such great shape when i got them but the second set of eggs i have in there were perfect. we will see.

I have used super hatch with great success, i hydrated the super hatch at the beginning of the season put it in the bator and put the first eggs in December. I had eggs in there up to about April. All babies hatched out great. I was incubating fat tail eggs in a shoebox container w/ super hatch.

Im sure the other eggs will do just fine!

God Luck!

I put the super hatch in a pillowcase, ran water through it for 5-10 mintues, then let it hanging to let the water drip out for 1 hour.

Doesnt get any easier than that :main_thumbsup: .....actually...there's Hatchrite, but i dont like that stuff lol

 

[robin]

ok i did something similar to that. hmmmm

I'm so sorry about your baby. I was really excited to read your thread and then that post about your baby dying was such a heart breaker! Glad the other survived.
