I opened eggs last year when I was hatching with silkiechicken and it was really hard. It was informative...I guess (I don't really know what I'm looking at yet with chick developement)...but I haven't been able to bring myself to do it this year. Each time I would open quitters - to see if...

Quote: I did. I was very worried about that because last week I received a box of eggs in the mail...2 were exploded in the box and that was the most awful thing I've ever smelled and the mess...
