PS @ozexpat I had completed my studies on the air sacks with the plastic bag storage and incubation and little end up storage. I HIGHLY SUGGEST IT. You can store eggs weeks little end up unturned after you let them set a day in a 75-80 degree room then pu them in a STYRO (not paper) STYRO egg carton in a TRASH BAG and then in a COOLER in a COOL room, est temp 45 degrees. And have excellent hatch rates and believe it or not the air cells remain almost as laid! TRY IT test a few, if you have to control humidity in the cooler add a sponge on the outside of the bag in the cooler. Even the tiny serama hold their life and weight! This is very important especially makes for shipping even three day old eggs more viable.... take this to that thread, and please remind them, they are packing eggs in all that stuff that is just SUCKING the water weight right out of those eggs! they need some proof, plenty of proof in this thread and even in some of those links I just quoted front for my use in my site. ;) thought I would share what I had been doing while I cant do much else! Serama eggs have internal pips this morning and set for well over a month downstairs, pretty cool. yea in a bag.

Sally........ I have come to determine you are obsessive-compulsive in a good way.... I love your posts..... always on target and CHUCK FULL of FACTS...... beats the devil out of trying to read one of those pieces of "technical literature"....

I have strict orders to not go down there until their is cinders on the path. its an ice path, but I called him at 6 this morning and he forgot to break through their water, so I must go on an adventure when the littles nap I think they are mutts if thats such a thing in a pea... peamuttens yea peamutten one and peamutten two.... btw can you eat peathings? just wondering. I hear them calling, they actually tell you when they are out of food or water. Chickens dont do that, but they sure do.

6 made it out of 8 (these are the ones outside of the wire cage) 1 was clear 1 died in shell never internally pipped(33 day old serama eggs stored as stated) air cells were actually smaller at day 18 than regular stored eggs I was worried I would loose them due to too not enough weight loss, shells showed some messyness in them after hatch too, but chicks are looking good. So I am impressed, it would be great to hold eggs a week like this and then mail out to test. See if the actual ph/ consistency / thickness changes have effect on shipping and that air cell and embryo.

So if anyone would like to test it and would like some fast growing large khaki green egg layers/meat birds let me know I have CCL roo's over HRIR and BR and I may add the BR mixes are amazing birds and I can sex the chicks. but I only have one BR hen anymore. I want to get 2/3 more BR to add into the coop, but I need to find some SQ hatching eggs when I find time.

Sally, morning..... I'm in the quarantine zone in North Central Washington... the infected flock is (was) 5 miles north of me... I have concerns about UPS, USPS and Fed Ex making deliveries to my home.... I can't get an answer from the Washington State dep't of Ag.... they won't answer their "hot line" number....
Do you, or anyone, know modes of AI transmission to other flocks.... I do have wild ducks, pigeons etc. landing approx. 300 yds. East of me in a cattle feed lot... and of course, the quail running through the yard....
It seems, with all the "immediate" concerns, someone would explain "transmission probabilities" and modes...


This makes no sense.... They write the laws then immediately repeal them... See Okanogan County.

let me see if our State Doc included anything in our Emails, let me read through the stuff or if she sent any links I can provide you with in addition to what you already have
