NO!!! Don't give up!!! I ordered 2 dozen Jersey Giant eggs back in September, and out of the 27 eggs I got in the mail, only ONE hatched!!! I ordered from another breeder and, this time, I had 26 Jersey Giant eggs and only FIVE hatched. I was SO upset!!! I had SEVEN fully...
WOW!!! LOTS OF PIPS, ZIPS & CHICKIES!!!
My hatch day isn't until tomorrow, but I came home from work this morning and checked for pips anyway. I had my face all the way in the incubator, checking for pips on the other side of the bator. I looked up to the edge, and three inches from...

I got 9 chicks out of 15 shipped eggs!!! That is my best percentage of shipped eggs, so far! I am VERY happy!

Oh sorry, between Thanksgiving, working (on Thanksgiving) and another hatch going on Thanksgiving Day into Friday...and today, I didn't even candle my Jersey Giant eggs. I did add water and turn them. I might as well wait to candle on Tuesday, now, because that is my lockdown day.
I'm still in!!!
Well, I not even close to an expert, but I would say at the very least the first one looks good. Maybe, even the other two. Give them a shot.
AT LEAST THERE'S HOPE!!!
Oooookay....I think I have totally lost my marbles!!! I hit the bid button on more eggs on ebay last night. The auction was for 12+ Partridge Silkies, and they immediately sent me an e-mail and asked me if I had enough room for 20???!!! Of course I can't say no...BUT I did stop myself...
I candled mine last night too. It looks like I have 17 good ones out of 26 Jersey Giants. I didn't toss any yet, though, because they are pretty dark brown, and it's hard to tell for sure.
I candled 2 of them tonight, only because they are in with my Silkie eggs, and I candled them tonight. Out of the two Jersey Giants on Day 3, I SAW AN EYE ON ONE!!! The other one I can't tell yet. It is pretty dark brown.
GO CHICKIES!!!
My eggs did come yesterday, but I had to let them sit for 24 hours. I was going to start them today at 11:11 a.m., but I missed it by 3 minutes. Oh well, they went in at 11:15 a.m., so I guess I'm bringing up the rear. 26 Jersey Giants perculating.

Can I join? I'm supposed to be getting Jersey Giants tomorrow. If they do come tomorrow, I'll have to let them sit for a day. I'm planning on setting them Friday afternoon. Hopefully the PO will co-operate.
