I had ordered Crested Cream Legbar eggs from Ebay and was looking forward to the hatch, but had a complete fail on all 7 seven eggs that I recieved. Eggs were delivered 3 days late. Anyone in DM IA have any Cream Barsandwich chickens?

Sorry, posted before I wrote my message.
I received hatching eggs today in the mail and I received gross eggs. I've read some use Oxine AR, but don't have any. What can I use that I can buy from local TSC or Fleet Farm etc.
HU is humidity
LS is low setting
HS is high setting
CA is calibration
There is a YouTube video a guy does and he explains it very well.
I screwed up my factory setting and my test run is all over the place!
My local TSC sell half priced chicks on Mondays, before they get a new batch of chicks on Tuesdays. Found out from the manager who I happened to go to high school with. You all might want to call your area to see if they do that too. Granted, there will be slim pickings, but half price.
I have not candles any of the other eggs yet. I figured I'll let Penny take care of them.. She has been rather protective of the eggs every time I go check under her for the underutilized eggs. Today is day 4.

I have 3 Black Orpingtons. One has been broody for the last 3 weeks. On Wednesday, I red about buying fertilized eggs at Trader Joes and Whole Foods. My TJ did not carry in our region in Iowa. I called Whole Foods and they had fertilized eggs. The sell by dates were 1/9/16. I layed out 6...
I ended up rehome the 4 EE's. They were way too agressive for my liking for my kids. I also found out their beaks were trimmed really short.
I found a local lady who was selling English Black Orpingtons. I bought 3 girls at 14 weeks old. They looks so healthy! I was even told when they...
How much protein? I give them 16% layer feed mixed with cracked corn, oyster shell, and granite. I also feed them scrap from our (kids) plates, which includes protein.
Thank you for the welcome! I cleaned out the coop this afternoon. I got an Omlet Eglu. All 4 of the girls were well trained about going into the house when it got dark. I decided to actually put in nest box full of pine shaving and a yellow fake Easter Egg (LOL). As of right now, I only...
I have had my 4 Americana chickens for about 2 weeks now. I bought them from some one that was thinning out her flock. I was told the girls would be laying within the week, but so far no eggs. I looked up some info and looks like the girls have their own time table. The girls are 2 years...
