The air cells are sideways because they are shipped eggs. Shipping is hard on them and sometimes makes the air cell 'stretch', especially if they are a few days old when they're shipped (the air cells are bigger so they are easier to mess up). But they still hatch okay like that, don't worry

ok so we have our mystery eggs!!!!! No thanks to my stupid po

So we have labeled, candled and added them to the bator and shall wait till next candling time to see what happens.!!!

Thanks Shelley!!!

Candled the eggs and looks like all of the mille fleur d'uccle eggs are developing ( yay!) but only one of the 9 RIR. Replacements for the old RIR rooster are being looked at to increase fertility. I did put a couple eggs in 2 days later than all the others so will check them again in a couple days and toss out all the duds then .

OKay that sounds cool. I was just curious.

We are rebulding our flock from massive losses last year from predators. The kids also wanted some new breeds and additions that were kinda different and some colored egg layers too. So we won't be selling any of our chicks at all we even need more roos too so I imagine our whole hatch will be staying here this year. We have a farmers market that we can sell at here that allows poultry to be sold.
