They are running 5-7 on the egg scale. They are Bev Davis/Wade Jeane lines.

has anyone used or use any kind of sanding method for shipped dark eggs?
I am trying to locate info on it.
I am having horrible luck with shipped penedesenca eggs.
out of the last 12 white empordanesa 3 developed 1 pipped but never got out of the shell.
Any ideas?

THANK YOU!!!! WIll give it a try. Cute picture!!

Thnx! That's my baby Smokey! One of my favorite of the flock!

Thanks! Some of them are more solid and I like those also, but the speckled are my favorite.

Did you know that the speckles can come off? We use a scouring sponge to clean our eggs, and those little speckles come right off, although I like the speckles on there more!

Yes I have noticed that before on my eating eggs. I do wash those and have seen the speckles come off. I don't wash my hatching eggs though.
