Granny's gone and done it again

I think @cherrynberry can help me with this one. I candled all of the eggs I got from the other lady that I sell because last week my GirlChild got two that actually had developed chicks in them. Most of the yolks were loose and floating, so I candled some of mine, which I know are no more than a week old. None of mine were loose. Does this mean hers are NOT fresh and I should not sell them? I am really worried. I need to know this TODAY. Anyone? I only want to sell FRESH eggs!

Perhaps try a float test or crack one open. Its hard to picture what you are describing. Candling is definitely a good idea too. It can reveal any eggs with cracks as well as if there's a chick inside. Definitely don't want to sell eggs with chicks developing in them!

Here's a good video showing how to determine how fresh an egg is:

I did crack a couple open and they look okay. The whites do seem a little thin and watery and the chalazae seem quite large - I could actually see them when candling, that's why I opened one. I know a really bad egg will float to the top. I'll float a couple of these and see what they do, thanks.

Thanks, Cherry.

he asked me about getting the mom vetted. I cant do that.

He can use his money...
unless he spent it already.

Our 44th anniversary coming up Saturday!

Congrats!
I love the art piece in your profile pic... geologic time! That was from before you moved? I hope it went to somebody who appreciates it.

Well, that's that much out of the way at least.

You're blessed to have had this much time.

Yes, i nearly lost him! Had an aneurysm rupture in his brain. Doctors couldn't figure out why he didn't die! Because we needed him!

Two juveniles, aged 11 and 12, broke into a local high school Sunday morning and did tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage. Lots of art work destroyed. End of school activities are being delayed because of all the damage. Juveniles are in custody.

It wasnt much. Some of it was trees gone wild and couldnt get the mower close enough. Time for some selective culling.
