Re: First Clutch of Eggs and I Messed Up!!!
As I understand it, they're pretty resilient to being jostled a bit in the beginning. A fall later in development would be more traumatic. I'm keeping my fingers crossed with you!
Re: First Clutch of Eggs and I Messed Up!!!
They stand a good chance--the main risk with a fall like that is, basically, 'scrambling'--breaking internal membranes and blood vessels. If they haven't suffered that (or enough of it to cause real harm, anyhow), then they should be fine. They can actually take quite a bit.
Re: First Clutch of Eggs and I Messed Up!!!
That Sucks...Hopefully they will be OK!
Re: First Clutch of Eggs and I Messed Up!!!
Hope they will be ok! Fingers crossed for you:please:. It's never a good feeling to lose a clutch.:(
Re: First Clutch of Eggs and I Messed Up!!!
Hopefully at least the ones with good veins will make it full term!
Re: First Clutch of Eggs and I Messed Up!!!
You'll be fine. Think only positive thoughts!
Everything will be fine,

Trey,
Grats on the first clutch of the year. 2 years ago, while weighing a clutch, I knocked the tub off of the scale, and dropped the whole clutch on the floor (about a 3.5' fall). All of the eggs hatched fine. I think you should be fine, but only time will tell. Good luck.
Re: First Clutch of Eggs and I Messed Up!!!
Well I got my second clutch Yesterday and I DIDN'T DROP THEM!!!!!:D
Thanks
Trey

Congrats on not dropping the second clutch! i have had 2 "roll out" eggs one last year and one the year before and both hatched out just fine. Hopefully yours will be the same!
