    shipped eggs broke

I think I should wait till tomorrow tho, but am worried if I wait to long it would be a lost cause. idk, I think I am going to do another batch in a month or so, I want 20 for...

    shipped eggs broke

    So they started hatching yesterday, how long till I should check the ones that have not piped? there are 2 that are piped as of now and 6 that have done nothing that I can see. I really want them all to hatch but even if they don't I still have 21 out of 36 for my first time, which is close to...

    shipped eggs broke

    I candled them but didnt put them in any way special. I don't think it really matters cause there are 7 in there turning them every which way. Unless I was suppose to do something different? Thank

    shipped eggs broke

    ok, I just feel like I should turn them so the pip side is up. but im sure the hens don't so should be ok. As of now there are 10 that are or are working on piping. 2 you can see beak poking out from time to time.

    shipped eggs broke

    so it don't matter if its on the side? I have no intention on opining the bator till tomorrow evening when I get home from work and that's only if they are all dry. might wait till Tuesday even.

    shipped eggs broke

    Well don't look like any of my shipped eggs are going to do anything, but 29 of the 36 I bought on cl made it to lockdown and 6 have piped so far. Do the pips need to be right side up? they all are so far but just wondered if they can pip the sides or bottom and be ok? I read the hatching 101...

I messed up and was turning them for the fist 24 hrs out of the bator. and they have been in the bator for for 3 days now and most are still detatched. I just want to know if i screwed them up for good...

    shipped eggs broke

    Yeah all the air cells are dethatched, if none of these 19 hatch I most likely wont buy hatching eggs through the mail again. Ill have to find breeders around and just hatch what ever there breeds are or just order live chicks. Which seams like the way to go, the price I see for a lot of the...

    shipped eggs broke

    I got my 2nd dozen today and the only ones that were broke were the 2 extra ones that were not in the egg carton. So at least I have 12 to try. They packed these ones with paper towel around the eggs and put them in a carton raped in bubble wrap. And then put in a box packed full of shredded...

    shipped eggs broke

    I some times wonder if putting things like shipping eggs on the box makes it worst. Just thinking if its a Monday morning and I am at work hungover and stuck at this low paying job how much they would really care and maybe be grumpy enough to see that and think, hatching eggs Hu we will see...

    shipped eggs broke

    Yeah I agree, its just hard to spend 45 for shipping on 12 eggs. Im coming to the conclusion that your better off spending the 3 bucks for a live chick and when they start laying hatch there eggs. I never shipped usps always ups. I think the usps employees are just mad about all the pay cuts and...

    I got my first 12 eggs in the mail yesterday, I ordered a dozen and they sent 14. Well after being in the mail for 9 days they showed up in a box that was half smashed, and half the eggs were broke. so I ended up with 7 scrambled eggs That are more than likely 2 weeks old. I want to hear others...
