Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[ozexpat]

I am giving Bernie the Filipino Farm Phenom and Analou, Bernie's wife and farm finance fudiciary tshirts for christmas



All the workers will get one.

Analou will also get a smart phone so she can use whatsapp to text me and forward pics to me. If you go to one corner of the farm, stand with one foot of the ground and your head twisted, you can 2 bars of 3G.

All workers also get a 13th month pay at Christmas by law.

13 month pay by law? interesting. I love the shirts and I am sure you can put a treehouse at the exact lookout for Analou!!!

I haven't opened them up yet, holding onto some hope that I'm very wrong...but I can tell there is a lot of excess clear fluid in there, which to me indicates it never made it to full development? They are day 22...

These 2 eggs in particular were light blue, a bit more white than the others, and perhaps thinner shells because they illuminated very BRIGHT red when I candled d15, something I did not see with the other blue eggs or with brown eggs ever... So, I could see all the veins etc when they were alive, and it's easy to see in there now.

I candled them today and the "rip" area that I think I can see looks like a discoloration inside the shell, slightly lighter color, and around it there appears to be coagulated blood, now brown/darkish, not red or bright. I can see other little bits of coagulated blood throughout, near the top within the clear liquid, and also some near the bottom where you might expect there to be waste near the yolk. I can see a clear area near the bottom that I think is the yolk unabsorbed, and clearly a big dark formed chick inside. The amount of clear liquid sloshing around the top is what feels very very wrong to me..

I don't want to open them!!! I don't want to see...

I'm sorry!!

Were they shipped eggs? I've had the extra fluid happen with a lot of my shipped eggs. As to the "ripped, bloody area" I have lost a couple during hatch when they pipped too low and hit a major blood vessel. My thinking was that the chicks grew too big inside the egg, and were not able to get into the correct position for hatch.
