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

[3Dchicken]

How is everyone?

Good! Hello, Silver!!!

Gosling update:

I came home and she's still alive. The thing on her navel is drying off, and she was even trying to walk.

If she makes it and she is in fact a 'she' than her name will be Miracle. That little gosling has had all the odds thrown against her.

Yay!!!

So for those of you who don’t venture over to my thread much – I had an eventful day. I had ordered and paid for 48 heritage eggs to come from Kansas to LA with shipping to be on March 25
.
The gentleman that sold them to me – by error – sent them yesterday. Now if you do the math, they will need to hatch while I am in the Philippines for Easter. The seller graciously apologized and said he would ship on the right date – but in the meantime I had to find someone to take the eggs off my hands.

I now know how Sally must feel with all the PMs. It went nuts. A long story short – several lucky SoCal people will have some fine free birds.

On top of that I candled 41 shipped eggs on Day 3 – yes 3. All I can say is I love white eggs. Those Golden Campines were veining beautifully. The Buff Brahmas were harder to see but there were veins. The marans – I could see six spots only.

A good day

What a nice person!

SAD news.... DH had to cull a chick for me.

navel infection at day 6, the splash cochin I hatched from my birds

Note: keep checking their butts for pasty butt AND NAVEL INFECTIONS UNDER ALL THAT FLUFF!

I don't know how Sally keeps track of everything!

Okay, this morning= no pipping or any sounds from what I can tell. I tapped on the bator and heard nothing. Will they be fine until I get home at 4:00 this evening/afternoon? It's 7:00 in the morn. right now. They might be pipped, and I just can't see the pips, but if they aren't- will they make it another 9 hours?

also, the temperature won't go above 100.
