Yes, they were shipped. I bought them on eBay & they came from NC. The seller has 100% feedback.
I don't have calipers but can get them.
to preserve the egg you would need to drill a hole in one end
If you are certain the egg is bad (no chick at all) you can blow the egg out then
if you suspect there may be a live chick you can float test the egg first (before drilling a hole) to see if there is any movement
Once you drill the hole (air cell end if you suspect there may be a live chick inside) you can look in with a flashlight
if the chick is alive and well you would need to tape up the hole with a bandaid or tape
if the chick is dead it will be messier to remove it (basically breaking the shell or cutting up the chick and pulling the parts out through the hole).
as a note.. if you suspect that there IS a live chick inside and you are still determined to drill the egg.. you will need to be extremely careful that you don't cause damage, kill or injure the chick when you make the hole in the air cell end of the egg.
Perhaps give the birds the names that make others happy (especially the kids) and keep for yourself the memories of the birds themselves. It’s the personalities that you become attached to, I reckon.
Sorry to hear that you will lose a chick. Yes, let’s talk about splayed leg, and try to figure it out.
