Upside Down Egg Experiment

[SlitherinSisters]

I can't wait to see what you find from this! IMO nature isn't as difficult as we might all think it to be. I think the egg will turn out ok, we'll see

Does anyone know why reptiles are so different from poultry? We have incubators going all the time for turkeys, geese, ducks, chickens, pheasants, etc. When you incubate poultry you must turn the egg 2-3 times a day if you want the eggs to hatch. I understand that the way reptile eggs and poultry eggs are kept warm naturally are very different, but why can poultry eggs handle being turned every day and reptile eggs can't handle being turned even once? If a duckling or gosling is turned upside down once it's out of the egg it will die within minutes.....but it can handle it in the egg???? I don't get it, I just follow the advice of BPnet especially when hatching reptile eggs I'm not saying that reptile eggs can be turned every day!!! I just find it strange that they are so different. They even incubate at about the same temp, it just varies a few degrees depending on the type of poultry!
