What a great gift! My dh bought me a dozen eggs jersey giant eggs I had mentioned seeing on craigslist a couple of weeks ago. I never thought her would do it, but he surprised me.
I'm so excited! A couple of weeks ago I mentions to dh that someone on craigslist had jersey giant eggs for sale. He told me I was crazy and I had to many chickens already. I really didn't want to drive that far so it didn't matter that much. Well this morning he and the kids surprised me...
I'll join in! After the Easter hatch I wasn't going to hatch for awhile but I had 30 or so duck eggs just calling to me and I want to see if my chicken eggs are fertile sooo in the incubator they went. I set them on April 30. I'll have to get a count when I get home.

I just found this thread, I have 3 eggs due today. Of the 7 I started with, they all had lose air cells. 4 were clear when candled and tossed on day 10. The 3 that are left looked ok, I think, before lockdown. I really hope these 3 sizzle babies make it.
No pips or movement yet.
That's not what I wanted to see. Today is day 5 on my duck eggs, I candled all 41 and only 1 had good veining. 5 or so had small veins and the rest looked clear. Hopefully it's too early and they will still develop. I know for my first small test hatch, I saw good veining on all 6 eggs at...
