day 15 egg candle-- (sorry I haven't been on the thread much, busy week) lockdown in 3 days!!!!!!!!!! I candled today, and all 19 of the eggs that originally started developing are still developing perfectly!!! I haven't even had a single quitter this whole incubation!!!I'm so excited to see what hatches!!!! I am not allowed to keep any of the chicks though, so I need to start finding people who want some of the chicks. And I think that I'm going to set up another order of eggs for after these hatch
thank you so much for this amazing incubator Mrs. Sally and Silver!!!!!!!!!
its great to see you young-uns up to your elbows in eggs. go for it!
I copied this over from https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...ck-out-of-here-a-diary-of-a-crazy-chicken-man as it may have relevance here. I am going to ask JerseyHen to bring some sort of eggs each time she comes to LA and see if we can study shipped eggs without the USPS getting involved - see what is really caused by them and what damage is essentially unavoidable.

TSA is not an issue but its best to make it very easy for them.
Standard check luggage is always xrayed because its fast. At LAX oversized luggage - such as a golf bag is not xrayed as it cannot make the turns on the massive automated conveyer systems. When I check in, I get a luggage tag from the airline and then go to the oversized luggage area and a TSA inspector opens the golf bag and rubs the cloth pieces inside the bag and puts them into the "sniffer" to analyze for explosives residue. They do not open the individual boxes with eggs wrapped in them.
For a small amount of eggs and to be sure you know how they are handled, carry on is easy. When you go to the screener tell them that you have live eggs that you have live eggs that need manual inspection. They may balk if they are new at the job but should ask someone more experienced. I use 3 piece foam inserts. I tape the bottom piece of foam to the larger "holed" piece. They take the eggs and foam out of the box, then put the box through the xray and use the "sniffer" on the eggs while still in the foam. The top piece of foam is not taped so they clearly see the big end of the eggs.
This is the box I carried them in, inside the golf bag. I placed a thermometer with a min/max reading nest to the box to see how cold/hot the golf bag got along the way.
The TSA process adds 5-10 minutes but I would add half an hour.
If traveling internationally, TSA procedures are the same. Its customs in the country you are traveling to that you need to know and meet the requirements as far as documentation goes.

A lot of complicated stuff you have to go through in order to get some chickens eggs on a plane!

but the eggs love to travelA lot of complicated stuff you have to go through in order to get some chickens eggs on a plane! XD
If all the eggs of mine hatch, I probably won't be able to keep them all, but I have places for all the boys to go.
and they can use the frequent flier miles when they get enough
