Do we ever get to find out who our partner is??

I would also like to know how they eggs do that I sent...

Well the post office was not very gentle with my eggs. All the serama eggs have very loose air cells so I didn't turn them but nothing is happening. Out of rhe other 7 I got one that is growing. Those to had loose air cells.

That's terrible. Wish there was a better way to get the eggs from one to another. Good luck on the rest. I am going to candle this weekend.

Serama eggs must be really difficult to ship, I received 9 last week or so and 3 were broken or cracked...and out of the 6 remaining, only one formed, and it's aircell is still loose. I guess the rest of them were scrambled.

Serama eggs do NOT ship well. It's better to find a few adults & hatch your own from there or get eggs locally to avoid shipping.

I'm confused who sent what and what they might be. Do you recognize anyone of these. I do have them in groups of how I received them. If any are from the mystery swap can just let me know what group of eggs? I've gotten my WYGS swaps and this Easter swaps all mixed up.
The white eggs are TJ Fertile eggs

What do you mean it is better not to turn them? You don't turn them at all?

Quote: correct. or if you do its not a full turn, just about a 1/4 turn. Egg turners haven't worked for me and some of the other Serama breeders I know. We're about split down the middle whether to turn or not to turn.
