Preserving bird eggs

[Spectabilis73]

Hey,

Well, one of the eggs hatched! His name is Puffo. The guy hatched about 2 weeks ago, and now he already lookes like a big fluffy ball! Hes shedding his down feathers and growing in flight feathers. The other egg was infertile, but it looks pretty cool. How can I preserve it? Is there some kind of clear goop to coat on the egg?

Pickle it?

lol somehow I'm not sure I think thats a good idea

Pickling it would dissolve the shell. Try lime water or sand.

Check out these methods

Good luck with the survivor!

CongradsZZ! As often as i have tried, iv never sucsessfully incubated a egg (usually left the incubating part up to my birds). Whats your method? Please tell me!

Hows the bird? what kind is it? what are you feeding it?

The bird is fine... My meathod for incubating eggs is simple; A box in a box, the large one one inch larger in deepness and length. Newspaper in-between them, and the inside lined with foil. There is chicken wire suspended one inch off the bottom, also wrapped in foil. and lots of fiberous tape!

(its insulating) Thats really all i can say, I'm not good at describing things, but ill get a pic when i can
