So I ordered a few Blue Laced Red Wyandotte eggs and had them shipped to me . They got here today and I am thrilled but as a newbie I am extremely nervous! I went ahead and candled the eggs just to see ( even though I have no idea what I'm looking for really at this point. )
Eggs were packed well , but they did travel a long ways. From what I could tell I one definitely has the detached air cell as I can see it rolling as I slightly turn the egg - The rest I cant tell to be honest... We shall see! I know there are so many factors going against me with shipped eggs but I am very hopeful to get some chicks. Here are pics of day of arrival . I am going to let the eggs rest with the fat side of the egg up until tomorrow morning and then will place them in the incubator tomorrow! wish me luck!
I will re-candle and update on day 7
any and all tips/advice welcome to this newbie!!
Thank you!
Jenn
egg 5
egg 4
egg3
egg 2 (air cell?) this shape does not change as I gently move the egg
egg 1 I believe this air cell is detached ? The shape moves as I gently turn the egg
