BOom! What was that? Dang the flood that delayed the mail:(

I just got eggs in the mail 2 days ago. I candled them but they were darker so I couldn't see through them. Today I heard Boom like a firecracker look in the bator and one of those eggs had exploded Now I have to clean up the mess and hope the rest are ok.

Were those the ones that were delayed? I hope you got your other shipment that you were waiting for...

Yes, they were. I think the heat during shipping must have damaged them They did come from a BYC person but I really don't feel it is her fault.

Stupid stupid flood. You damaged buildings and homes and eggs. And you killed some people too

Got the mess cleaned up and most of the other eggs look ok to me. I did find one bad one and got rid of it before it explodes also.

I really wanted those chicks so I hope I can at least get a couple to hatch. I know being in the mail so long didn't help them.

5 days. I had some others in the mail that long and they were fine but it was cooler weather then. I think these got cooked in the mail as I found one that was stinky and not yet broken so I took it outside and broke it to see and it looked like a nasty hard boiled egg Yuck!
