1st time hatching shipped eggs

[1876 Farm]

Today I will be setting 7 shipped Cream Crested Legbar eggs into my incubator. I received the eggs yesterday in the USPS mail and they will have sat 24+ hours in a paper egg carton in the room that I have the incubator before I start incubating

They were shipped as follows:




Here they are out of the box:



Here's what the air sacks look like:
LY - Loose Yolk, the yolk wanted to stay at the top of the egg.
LA - Loose Air sack, could see the air rolling around at the top of the egg.
Eggs are numbered top to bottom, left to right:





I am not a candler, I usually just set and go, but this time I may candle at least once.

More to come in the future!!

Good luck with the hatch! I can't keep myself from candling

I'm just too curious what's going on in there. I have found though that the blue shells can be just as hard to see into as the dark brown marans eggs at times...

Just a tip. Sometimes the eggs with hatch late when they are shipped. Good luck with the hatch.

This is good to know!! Thanks.

Eggs went into incubator last night. Along with some BCM barnyard eggs.

Another thing is that I have a better hatch rate if I manually turn the eggs. Tried both and had much greater odds when I did it.

I wonder if that is because the air sack is disturbed during shipping and hand turning has the air sack moving around less.

Today is day 10 and I have candled the eggs:

Egg 1 - the dark "yolk" seems to be moving around as I move the egg - I probably should throw this one away right?


Egg 2 - Developing right?


Egg 3 - Not developing right? - The dark spot doesn't roll around like in egg 1. Any chance that it will?


Egg 4 (a little blurry) - Developing right?


Egg 5 - Developing right?


Egg 6 - Developing right?


Egg 7 - Not developing. The dark area on top stays put, doesn't roll around like egg 1 - throw away?

Any time there is a dark red ring its an early death.

Do any of these look viable?

Can you get better pictures? The clear ones are not viable. The others are too blurry to tell. Is there a dark spot, with veining come out of it?
