They are beautiful!!!! I can't wait to fire up that new cabinet after Lima e Thank you for such a nice compliment!!! I had to cull Patty-one of my first 2 seramas the other day so your kind words could not have come at a better time. Thank you for your kindness and friendship
I am so terrible with chick colors! But I have been throwing some odd looking ones lately. Working on getting them separated in a hatcher and got tiny bands for when I do! Just haven't been super organized or had the strength or energy to do it. The new cabinet will help with that a ton!!!

Gorgeous babies.
I really don't need seramas for the shipping experiment, I could do it with barnyard mixes or anything. Just pushing myself to try the hardest first haha!
I'm really glad to hear I'm not crazy but others have had similar thoughts about evaporation as I have had. It's reassuring.
I have had a discussion about bubble wrapping eggs, but imo it's good to bubble wrap them. It's not air tight and since there's not a embryo the egg doesn't have to breath.I have actually heard of this before. There was some discussion about storing eggs in plastic before shipping or setting for that exact reason. That's why the freshest eggs shipped is always better. Smaller air cells and also less deterioration of the membrane. Some people argue that eggs need to breathe and will be suffocated. I've heard people get mad when eggs are completely wrapped in bubble wrap because they think it will kill them. I am inclined to think it's more of a bacteria problem. I would be happy to experiment with you. I raise a lot of birds including seramas.

If the eggs are sloppy, muddy, warm, wet etc I think bacteria could be a problem. If you bag a egg and it's hot out of the hen there could be sweating which would make bacteria enter the shell, I think. One of the reasons I'm testing the bloody pullet egg.
I would love to have you join the experiment. Especially since you are west coast and I'm east. Cant get much farther on shipping

My girl has started laying again! So I'm going to try and collect a weeks worth of eggs and try it out, too. I'm mulling over storing the eggs in the incubator itself (not running) with a small dish of water to keep the humidity up while still have vents open for air. Minimize water loss in the older eggs so there's a level starting field, so to speak. And see if someone nearby has a couple robust farmyard eggs I can put in at the same time to compare hatch rates.
