7th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2016 Hatch-A-Long

Not again chickenhawk? Remember last time, they were a half a day later, right? Then things started. Don't touch, just wait. Check again in a few hours.
 
My eggs will go into lock down on Mon. A day earlier than most here. I set a day early. Last I candled, 8 were coming along. :)

What breed are you hatching--Leave them like Cynthia said, unless you see no pips and they need some more water for humidity.

I hope they start hatching soon!
 
What's everyone's opinion on hatching a cracked, shipped egg? My eggs came in the mail yesterday and they weren't packaged well. One was cracked. It wasn't obvious without candling but there was a little wet spot on the paper towel it was wrapped in. I put some clear nail polish over the crack but do you think I'm wasting my time? I'm going to give it a chance but, being a really dark egg, it's going to be tough to check on.

Myself personally, I wouldn't put it in. I know some do, but it's according to how badly cracked it is. If it was actually leaking, I would right out and say no. If it is just a small crack, a hairline.. some do the polish, some do the was.

If they are special eggs then yes, give it a go.

Me too! I would try it with something like $300.00 per doze little peddler eggs.
