December 2021 Hatch-A-Long

Would it be possible to very carefully use a box cutter to chip some glue off?

May try, but it's quite sticky. So weird, I've never had that happen before from a foam shipper.

Maybe a bit of tissue over the sticky bits to block it? I've been watching those Greenfire auctions, I'm tempted to make a bid and see how they hatch out.

little duckies have been named Choccy and Milk by the kids. I'm hoping we get more but really thankful we got at least 2. I think incubating and hatching upright worked a lot better, last time I tried shipped eggs with such bad air cells we got 0

#3 hatched from one of the Blue copper maran eggs. Another black chick.

That may work... something to keep it from getting on my incubator. I made a low bid early on and walked away. I was surprised when I got the email that I won! Definitely a good value if they don't have glue on them. They haven't answered yet so I may have to set what I can and call the others a loss. I get the post office risks, but they did this in packing and I'd hoped they'd replace the gluey ones. This is the first foam shipper I've had glued together at all and their boxes fit so perfectly, I don't think it's necessary. Hopefully the other two boxes from other shippers arive ok.

Wait waa? Here in Slovakia, one egg costs 70 cents!

Wow! For every breed? I can get a rainbow barnyard mix for about $1 each…that’s the cheapest fertile eggs I found.

Not every but most of them. An ayam cemani egg costs 2€
