Quote: Were all your aircells intact when you got them? I know that sometimes if they are unstable or detached that can take a toll. And hard shipping can really do that to them. Even with the well packed eggs I got last time, about half were detached, and none of those made it past around...

I do not think it had anything to do with my over stuffed status...really. It is very odd to me that it is only the wellies that failed. i wonder what the shipping trip looked like for them. Seems like it could have been rough. That is all I can think of. Thay were not in the bator piled on...

Thanks guys. I do wonder what went wrong...

It is all good. Thanks for the confirmation. So Blessed...what is the big ol' bator? How many can you pack in there? Is it homemade? Still really nervous about the whole "homemade" idea.

Quote: You gals have more birds than I do...But I will ship what I have when you are ready. You tell us Blessed when you want... Ace, If you want to keep yours to hatch for yourself, since they are sending so many, I understand. I am honestly happy to get any at this point. If you have...

Quote: I can send mixed eggs whenever you want them blessed-the EE's and cochin and such are a few more days so I can collect them-Luvins is giving you some of my eggs she won so I can give her a bunch more to send to you??? You figure out what you want and what you want to do and Im in to...

Quote: Forgot to add - I have never shipped eggs before, so if you pay shipping I would love to try this out! I'll be happy to! I think I can try a staggered hatch. I have a small bator (homemade) that can't hold alot of eggs at once. About 18. But I only have 6 in there now. I told...

Although I am busy trying to keep up with the dust from the first batch. Anyone have any tricks to cut down on the dust?

Quote: Yes we do..and then you know what...we wait some more.

****UPDATE**** Candled - thise Welsummers are almost harder than the Marans. So for some I can not be sure. from Onthe spot 9/12 FBCM (1 Clear, 1 Quit, 1?) 3/4 olive eggs (1 Clear) 3/5 BCM/Olive egg layers (2 ?) 9/12 Mollted Javas (3?) From okiehen 12/15 welsummers (3?) From melissa41927...

The Olive eggs are a mix of Black Copper Marans and EE or ameracaunas. And the top ones do get rotated...not great though so I did mark them with an X and move them every now and then myself. Thanks for checking in...do stop back. i am candling tonight.

Well patience is a vertue so what) But Will you be able to see better by waiting that long? What is the advantage?
