HATCHING SHIPPED EGGS FOR FIRST TIME!!! COULD USE SOME ADVICE.

[john_wrightson2003]

Yea , sorry I didn't specify , found a black snake out by my chicken coop that I'm trying to catch up and take to the mountain to release . Then on top of that , as I was hunting the snake I found a nest of baby wolf rats so I'm a little crazy at the moment lol

And I have several breeds in the box, I've got polish, Cochin bantams, and RIRs in one, and bantams, Araucanas, Wyandottes, and black australorps, the first box is due to hatch next Monday, and the other one is due on June 11th.

Not really... i figured i dont have to, tracing and candling them seems like a waste of time to me, its not gonna affect the air cells or anything GOOD.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. I want to candle my eggs by day 14 to check for life. All it takes is having a disgusting rotten egg exploding in your incubator or box and you will be a candling convert. I'm rooting for you to have a great hatch!

Yeah, I candle during incubation too, (2nd favorite part), we are debating about hatching shipped eggs... whether you should candle and check the air cells or not.
