Out of 8 shipped eggs, 4 brabanter and 4 dominique; I have 2 live Brabanter chicks. The Dominique that was malpositioned, died in the egg. When I removed that, I checked the other 3 remaining, and tossed one after candling. The other two are back in the incubator but no sign of life. I will...

check it out. First chick to hatch must have been a twin. We named the chook "Gemini". Here is what was left of the other twin, left inside the shell.

One Brabanter chick is out. Only that malpositioned pip on the remaining 5 eggs. argghhh. Oh, my Tonkinese heard the cheeping and had to investigate.

Day 6 and decided to candle this morning to see how the air sacs are. They are nicely stable. 3 of the 4 Brabanter eggs have veining, 4th is iffy. The shells of the Dominique eggs are too dark to see veining, but they are definitley NOT clear or cloudy. I will check again monday night. :D

My understanding, that pertains to shipped eggs. It allows the air cells to reattach and gives a better hatching rate. I really hope these eggs I got yesterday produce something!

Mind if I join? I just set eggs today and am glad I read the article here about shipped eggs! New experience for me and it freaked me out when I did the initial candling and the air cell was a bit sloshy. I use a brinsea mini advance and took the turner out, cut down a cardboard egg carton...
