Some of you are seeing this same post from the other swap thread, but I bet some of you don't know about the other swap threads

Hey guys... I don't know if you've ever come across this thread before: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=421735

First of all, this foam is totally awesome, I make something similar here at home for my shipping eggs but I got a swap last week that were packed in fowlrus foam and it was pretty cool. But the real reason I repost it here is that I learned something very important today after reading it myself. I actually had a "doh!" moment because it's total common sense! LOL!

"The eggs stand upright in shipping, so the air cell is at the top- this keeps it from forcing the membrane away from the side of the shell (air rises) as the egg will not bounce along on its side in shipping, which is often a problem. If eggs remain big-end-up, much damage from jarring can be avoided."

I can't believe I never thought about which end of the egg I put pointing up. I mean, just out of habit I'm sure I pack them in the foam with the fat end up because that's the way I store them in the egg trays and the end I write the date on. But from now on I'll really pay attention to "this end up" on the eggs I'm packing!

6+ eggs Barnyard Mix

Cuckoo Silkie Rooster crossed over Buff Orpington & Barred Rock hens.

I'm hatching them out as I type. They're coming out black with feathered feet.

-OR-

6+ eggs Mutt & Pure Duck eggs

I have a Pekin & Khaki Campbell drake over 2 Khaki Campbell hens, a Pekin hen and an Indian Runner hen.

So, you have a chance of getting pure Pekins, pure Khaki Campbells or mixes of the bunch. The runner crosses have been hatching out with black or spotted feet.



Blessings-
Em
