I just candled my eggs (3 days) and I already see veining!! I have never had that many on shipped eggs, usually have blood rings over 50%, I am so excited!!! They are Silkies shipped from TN to WY.

Boy! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who candles after 3 days!
How exciting!!!
to see veins and on so many eggs!
I set 9 silkie eggs recently and on day 3, 6 were showing veins! Shipped from Florida to Arizona. I know your excitment. And the silkies are such cuties! We have 2 in a brooder and i'm so in love with them!
Great!!! The last batch of shipped eggs i put in the bator 16/16 were growing, My first time with 100%. The Buff Silkies I just hatched I started with 8 and 7 grew (and they spent the night in the mailbox when it was cold) I cannot complain about shipped eggs, so far it's been pretty good.
I'm thinking maybe the cool weather is better on shipped eggs, even tho by incubating in the winter, I will have a laundry room full of chicks.
I'm am so lucky to have an "animal lover" for a husband and a big laundry room

The cooler weather is definitely better for shipping hatching eggs. I received 10 late last month, 9 were fertile and 8 ended up hatching. That is my best rate so far for shipped hatching eggs.
