I think it is just pushing up against the air cell, not IP.

Does this message of mine make sense? It's an inquiry about the availability of hatching eggs.

My first batch is set to hatch on Thursday and I have another set going in after that. I can add you to the list for eggs that will be sold after my own hatching is done for keepbacks and chick sales. That'd be looking to be in late July/Early August.
Another option is eggs collected over 1 week following my upcoming set. This would be because I'm currently collecting eggs for my own hatching over a 3wk period while the previous group incubates. If it turns out eggs collected in the first week aren't viable, I'll be selling those laid during the first week following a new incubation. I hope that makes sense.

I was told it didn't make sense

To which I responded:

In other words, I could have eggs available every 4 weeks, but more likely I'd be selling hatching eggs closer to August.

Sorry cy, I've read it three times and can't wrap my head around it. I'm currently going nuts. People are more than happy to pay $5/egg for hatching eggs but want chics for less. It's driving me nuts.

Okay, lemme see if I can explain it. (This is not meant to sound rude. I'm trying to sound comprehensive.)

So you know how I've been collecting eggs WHILE this current batch has been incubating? I want to see if eggs stored for 2-3 weeks can hatch. If NOT, then eggs laid during the first week following a new incubation will be sold. Does that make sense? So every 4 weeks (3wk incubation +1wk collection) eggs should be available.

I cannot explain things to save my life.
