Well, I'm bumbling around and have too many eggs around with not enough incubators.
I WAS going to do an experiment with the eggs (I wanted to try dipping eggs in a dilute concentration of chlorox bleach - I saw it at a hatchery documentary and they had a great hatching rate) as well as trying to dip them in a soapy concentration, some dirty eggs cleaned in soapy water and than dipped in chlorox concentration. And then I wanted to try an experiment with old eggs and ones that have been in the refrigerators (in days, eggs up to 1 week old, eggs up to 2 weeks old, eggs up to 3 weeks old, and eggs up to 4 weeks old). I also wanted to try to hatch out "slushy" eggs and some eggs that have been frozen, but I'm only using eggs that Mother Nature decided to play with LOL not do it on purpose! I'm also testing fertility for other people!
Does anyone want FREE eggs to put into their own incubators?
There will be eggs that are old, eggs that have been dipped in bleach water, eggs that have been in the fridge for week 1, 2, 3, and 4, and eggs washed in a soapy solution and then those cleaned in soapy solution and dipped into chlorox bleach. HOWEVER, you may also just receive left over eggs that just need a home.
My goal: get rid of eggs and make them become chicklets!!!
As well as try and figure out if there are any significance in any of these variables.
All I ask is for you to pay for shipping and some of the bubble wrap LOL You'll get 30 eggs (I'm currently seeking out free bubble wrap - the Veterinaries, Medical buildings, Pharmacies, Hospitals, schools and Walmart are getting ticked I keep begging them for bubble wrap LOL) - I think anywhere between $20-$25 is the shipping and bubble wrap should do it.
You could receive eggs from Cuckoo Marans, Black Copper Marans, White Marans, Bantam mixes and Cuckoo Marans mixes as well as some Heavy Mixes assortment. I'm also going to be figuring out if a few farmers' eggs around here are fertile yet so some of those will be fresh, but you're just testing fertility!
Whatever is left over - I have about 20 dozen eggs to be put up for the test this week and next + another 20 dozen to come in tomorrow to help test fertility out (ACK!).
All I ask of you is 1) incubate them! 2) keep me updated on EVERYTHING 3) tell me the end results! 4) send pictures of EVERYTHING!
I only have three incubators and can't keep up with all of them!
All eggs will be marked according (not breeds, just what was done with them).
You will receive at least 6 eggs that are fresh (these are leftovers and/or to test fertility for me)
Also, does anyone know any other way to ship eggs without bubble wrap with GOOD results????? LOL I've had good results that way, but boy, bubble wrap is hard to find out here in the boonies!!!
Eh, let me know!
Also, if you've done any of the above results, please give your information! I would like to keep update of it as well
EDIT AGAIN: I found a gentleman who may want his Heritage Buckeye eggs tested on fertility too LOL I'll let ya know!
EDIT: IF YOU LIVE around states bordering KS, let me know, I can ship you up to 40 eggs I believe if not more!!! (Colorado, Missouri, Texas I believe, the state above KS [sorry LOL I really dont know], Oklahoma, Minnesota, maybe even Utah, Arizona, and a couple other places)
