Hatching shipped eggs

[Colly1470]

So it's day 7 of my second attempt at hatching shipped goose eggs. Out of 6 eggs....1 had to be tossed to prevent a smelly catastrophe, 2 are questionable, and 3 are definitely developing! Healthy looking little beans (I can see movement in there) with lots of good veining. Day 10 will tell me if the 2 questionable ones are growing or need to be taken out.

Update: Day 6
2 Non fertile Bresse

2 Blood Ring Bresse

2 Questionable Bresse

18 with air cells and veining Bress

11 with air cells and veining Bantam Wyandotte GL

Total 29 viable to hatch 2 maybeys

Update: Day 10
17 viable Bresse 1 with air cell on side (will have to research)

3 duds: 1 non-fertile 2 Blood Ring

11 viable Bantam Wyandotte GL

Total 28 potential Chicks

AND The Scotch Tape Baby is still viable! Cool Huh!

OK Scotch tape baby didn't make it But out of the 24 shipped Canadian Bresse we got lucky 7 healthy chicks! From our own 11 Bantam Wyandotte Golden Lace we got 9 Good day on the homestead.

I just finished another hatch. I ordered 100 quail eggs from orchard hill poultry, I received 105 eggs none broken (amazing). At lockdown I candled them and had 11 infertile eggs. Of the 93 left over I hatched out 86 healthy birds...

4 of the 7 died fully developed in the shell because of me. I did a staggered hatch and opened the incubator twice (very quickly) while these eggs were in lockdown with several pipped. Thee eggs were pipped and they got "shrink wrapped" in the egg. I know because I assisted 6 more that were shrink wrapped but I caught them in time and zipped their shells for them. 5 out of the 6 I helped ended up making it. That will not happen again.....

Anyway 86 out of 93 fertile shipped eggs is still pretty decent for my 3rd hatch ever

My 3 developing goose eggs. Had to toss a second questionable egg (it left no room for questioning....I could smell it through the shell today). So I'm down to 4 eggs. Only 2 more days for the last one to either start showing development or get out of Dodge.
