I candled the rest of the eggs.

2. Nice air cell - many cracks
4. Mostly light - full of cracks
5. Dark - I 'think' I saw a vein
6. Dark blob inside
8. I see veins.
10. I see veins.
11. Nice air cell - but very light overall
12. Looks ok - darkish blob inside
13. I see veins.
15. Empty
16. I see veins
17. Nice air cell - rest is very dark
18. Empty
21. Mostly light
22. Distinct small dark blob - absolutely covered in cracks
23. Light and darkish areas - crack at small tip

They weren't very well packaged for shipping....with that many having cracks! I wouldn't get anymore from there!

Here's the kicker.....they weren't shipped!

I drove 1.5 hrs. to get them.

I’ll change to #8 for Jax if okay

I candled the eggs that people had named:

3: looks dark except an air pocket at the bottom - large cracks at the top (big end)

7: looks empty except a large blood ring

9: completely empty

14: completely dark

19: mostly light with a small dark area, possible blood ring?

20: mostly light with a larger dark area, possible blood ring?

Sorry guys, not looking very good. I'll candle some more later to see if I can find some better looking ones, and you can pick different eggs.

I randomly candled a couple when my Incu-bright first arrived and saw some veins but didn't write down which ones they were.

What do you mean by cracks? Like in the shell?

Yes

 

[Ecarroll]

Yes

To bad, I wonder how if they weren’t shipped.

Maybe the birds pecking on them before he gathered them? Not sure. I was really careful with them.

Hm, weird. Sorry for the bad hatch situation, I hope at least some will hatch!

Thanks me too. If not, I'll have to have some shipped. Or breed mine and risk inbreeding.

Can I get 10 please with the name of Belina (short for Thumbelina) if female and Belino if male. It's the brand of chocolate mini croissant we have in the cupboard
