    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.

    Hope they will be ok! Fingers crossed for you. It's never a good feeling to lose a clutch.

    Hopefully at least the ones with good veins will make it full term!

    Re: First Clutch of Eggs and I Messed Up!!!

    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.
