We won! Blue Lightning was undefeated this season!
Now for unpacking pics...
One corner got banged a bit, but you'd never know it from the inside. The egg from that corner had a wobbly aircell, but that's the extent of the damage. The other couple of loose aircells may have been near it--I only took note of the one exactly in the corner.
Nice and tightly packed, big end up and marked with date and breed (though if I can't tell Marans and Sulmtaler eggs apart...
)
2 strips of bubble wrap at 90 degrees from each other. I untaped the first one, then realized that I could carefully slide the eggs out, which was much easier, with less chance of the egg taking a fast half foot trip...
Layer of shavings and bubble wrap on the bottom as well as the top.
Reinforced single box.
Eggs for the incubator and for Frieda! I'll divide them tomorrow after the post-rest candle. Maybe I'll even be able to see the aircells in the ones Ravyn gathered last
October:
Jack is still pretty mellow, thank goodness, but definitely did NOT like my 3 year old grandson so I just carried him into the coop to get eggs while he was here for the Balloon Fiesta. Jack is much more laid back than my last cockerel, for sure. But he doesn't like strangers. We're putting up the permanent run wall starting tomorrow so we'll be able to walk into the people side of the coop and collect eggs without having to walk through part of the run. Shoes will also stay much cleaner that way.
