Were we supposed to quote? Mine was 11 out of 13

Are leghorns auto-sexing or able to sex with wing feathers?

The thing with dry incubation is you don't have to worry as much about the chicks drowning, probably more of a concern for shrink wrapping if the humidity isn't high enough at lockdown. I only do dry incubation sometimes my humidity will drop very low. But average 20-40% and then i try to up it...

11/13 y'all! 5/5 of the whole foods and 6/8 of the saddled shipped eggs!

Coming up on lockdown and about to discover if I can get wonky eggs to hatch! On the opposite end I can see veining and movement. Going in with 13, sounds like a lucky number to me!

Pretty safe to say it's dead right? I see no movement and the embryo looks like it floated to the top and isn't moving...

Looks like I have my first casualty... It's being incubated upright and all the others of this color have good veining throughout and in the bottom of the egg too, but this looks like lumpy blood ringing on one side and has no veining in the bottom.

That's exactly what i told the seller... If I need her to send more because these don't hatch, I asked her to be discreet in packaging and no "hold at post office"

That's what I'm doing but was about 4 days in before switching them to upright...

Ohhh I hope so... Expensive eggs to be so cruelly mistreated by the post office. 5 were broken upon arrival and the box was dented, I'm going to wait and see but we've already filed a claim and if none hatch I'll have her send new ones. I swear if you mark something "fragile" they go out of...

Basically all the eggs I've hatched have been human avoidant, (except the roos) I'm going to try harder this time to socialize them.

So anyone with luck successfully hatching saddled eggs?

Aggghhh! Well someone in my local poultry group hatched them and didn't mention anything like that, she has pics of the adult hens, but I'll keep an eye out for pecking!

OMG That's insane! These are from Rock Island... Is that the farm yours came from ronott1?

Joining late! I've got 14 eggs in the bator due on Easter. 5 from Whole Foods which are developing perfectly and will be Leghorn x's and 9 shipped colorful eggs 8 of which have horribly wonky air cells and were mistreated by the post office, so we'll see. When I realized the air cells were...
