Last month I set my first ever shipped eggs, six total. Today is day 26 for them! Fingers crossed.

My first shipped egg to hatch!

It was seriously malpositioned, most likely due to the wonky air cell. It had pipped internally, but could not reach the shell because it had it's foot over it's head *and* it's beak over it's wing.

Hate to think what would have happened if I hadn't taken a peek inside. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that people should start "helping", but I'm pretty sure this one never would have made it if I hadn't.

It's officially over... Six pea eggs shipped from PA to CA were received last month. All had damaged air cells. Eggs were rested for ~24 hours then set under a chicken hen. Of the six, one had a blood ring, one died late, but the other four hatched with assistance. Of those four, only one had a normal air cell, so I guess it healed?
