Do the air cells look bigger in the older ones? Usually you can tell how old they are by the moisture they have lost compared to other eggs kept in the same environment. If I am setting older eggs that have larger air cells, I give them more humidity, accordingly. But if I were you, I would incubate them all according to how the best/freshest ones look since they will have the best chance.

Soooo- Get a good look at all air cells for comparison and shipping damage and go from there.

She responded back..they are numbers that she writes down as she collects them..not the days! Egg number 1, number 2, number 3..and so on. She says so they can keep track and send fresh ones. I like to candle 24 hrs. after setting them. Then I can usually see a nice round dot where things are getting started. Then, nothing will show usually until day 4 or 5. Day 7 being the best day to candle.

I will keep in mind to take notice of the size of the air sac size..thank you. Then go by that as to the humidity.

That's part of the reason I like quail eggs: You can't see in them at all, so you can't candle. It's annoying and worry-free all at once

. Exactly.

Thank you we try and work hard. A start in building new incubator we try to give our son a little bit of Halloween by using past years decorations. I don't have a big farm but love my chickens pigs rabbits dogs cats. House full of life. He was Leonardo last year. It still fit so he will be it again these year .so he can go to his activity on Halloween day. Morning my gym event children fitness Halloween party should be fun for him. And we have a moms group party in the evening at chucky cheeses should also be fun for him.

Love the idea of a Mom's group party, and your decorations look great. I don't usually buy any decorations until after the holiday and get them for 70% off.

It's all dark meat. I can't think of anything to compare it to but it does taste better wrapped in bacon imo. Thanks, sorry about your BLRW. I want to get more lavender ameracaunas but can't find them anywhere. These came eggs from a member here. Hoping all else goes well on your hatch. Good luck!

Everything tastes better wrapped in bacon 

Oh yeah!

I can go pick some up nearby and ship them to you if you'd like

That is real nice of you! I wouldn't want you to go out of your way though.

Now waiting on the rest. Too bad we have a wedding ceremony to go to right now or i'd be camped by the incubator right now.
