YEP! I had to skip the 275 posts since last night!

and am just jumping right back in

So here is an up-date on my next hatch.... I set the Sussex and Sultan eggs this morning (I could not find air cells in any) ... and got the citron hamburg eggs waiting to go in tonight............VERY DISSAPOINTED IN MY HAMBURG EGGS!!!!! 1st they are super tiney... the size of bantams eggs!....NO SMALLER than bantam eggs!!!!!! and the breeder assured me they are standard size... which I am now doubting, or if they are then they are from young birds, or they are the smallest egg laying hamburg EVER!..... They are also dirty!!!!!!!!!!!

and I cannot tell AT ALL which side is the big end as both sides are identicall!!!!

they are marked so I went with how she marked them..... I can see no air cells in any of them, BUT one had air bubbles!!!! AIR BUBBLES!!!!! I only got 4 eggs and she sent NO EXTRAS and I paid like 30$ for them!!!

only because I thought they were standard size and I could not find ANY standard size anywhere......

SO WHATEVER..... maybe I will be plesently surprised in 3 weeks.......... Also I have a hight powered light comming for candeling eggs as I think mine is way to soft ......... I mean I should have seen air cells in the eggs that are 7 days old right????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

kids want lunch, Thank God for leftover calzone!

I read about a three year old kid who surviced on McDonalds ketchup packs for 2 weeks while his mom was in jail and social services forgot. tell your kids to find something if calzone is not enough

Air bubbles are a bad sign.. That means the air cell has ruptured. I've never had an egg with a ruptured air cell develop, but you should try anyways. Incubate it in an egg carton and don't turn it for a while. You can start tilting it a little bit after 3 days of incubation.

For direction of the eggs, they should go in air cell up. but you say you can't find the air cells?

Sorry about the hamburg eggs, have you talked to the seller?

You think that's bad? here there have been incidents of them placing kids with people who have been convicted of violent crimes.

Yeah, whoever FORGOT that kid should go to jail for child endangerment, neglect, etc....that is supposed to be their job!!!! Bout the same as people who think it is ok to lock their kids, animals in a car while they run into the store......on a 90 degree day

I guess people might use different words for it. When the mebrane breaks, I call the air cells ruptured.
