EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[kwhites634]

There are 16 pages of unanswered posts dating back to March. If you have any understanding of poultry (you have not killed off your flock in under a month!), please look through the posts, and see if you can answer a question or ten. Some posts are just advertising shows and egg/flock sales. But there are a ton of questions too!

But none of them are from this thread, thankfully; at least in the first few pages.

Were they shipped eggs? I will see if anyone else can answer I don't think so, but I am not an experienced hatcher.

Yes they were shipped eggs. They sat 18 hrs after they arrived, and yesterday was day 7 incubation. Ten eggs in all, and I see veining in only two. Most of them have air cells that move somewhat when the eggs is tipped. I'm hoping it's early yet, and they may still develop? I never saw this with my own hatching eggs.

It is never a bad idea to wait and see. Unless the egg stinks.
Chaos will get smart with this post. Ignore him.

What if I've killed part of my flock?

You are such a smart butt!
However, it took you more than a month.

Actually it only took a couple hours.
