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

[subhanalah]

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?

that's a great hatch for shipped eggs!

Beginners luck? Or maybe her shipping methods helped? Round two starts today... should have my next batch in a couple of hours!

nice we had 5 from 6 shipped duck eggs hatch but i think peafowl are harder to hatch

yep this is a good thread to follow as a lot of us hatch from shipped eggs and boy do we have questions

My welsh harlequins hatched two days early. I walked by the incubator and saw some furry thing in there, noticed all but two are pipped. I don't know if the last two are still alive or not, but 6 ducklings is still a lot....

8 eggs, the two hat weren't pipped were dead. No clue why.
It's amazing, I seem to have better hatches when I leave the eggs in the incubator with the Turner on. Maybe I'm just using a better incubator with more even temperature dispersal.
Have two ducklings out now!
I went to bed a little while ago...but I think I'm going to go check on my eggs first.

Even the little egg I crushed one side of half way through has pipped right through my red fingernail polish on the egg!
