Read right above about the person she sold eggs too. Right here in this box.

I'm sorry, I'm really missing something. I got that she sold eggs and the person she sold them to lied about viability. I don't see who the person is that she sold to? I thought she just replaced the eggs and found they had lied. PM me please if I'm just lost!

I do not have my bator yet...but have been wanting to try hatching soon! I think good feedback is something to look for.....but I still don't know about the shipping part. I am very fortunate to have a breeder not far away with rare and unusual breeds and I think now that I've found her I will not have to ship eggs at all!

She can keep me busy for a lonnnngggggg time

I know there's a chart on BYC for results from hatcheries. Would it be unethical to create one for breeders, so we newbies can get an idea of how breeders package their eggs, etc. and how successful the arrival, incubator info and hatch rate are? I know there are no 100% guarantees, and problems could occur during incubation, but we all can use the data to form our own opinions. Just wondering??

Y'know, I'm fairly sure the thing about hatching eggs needing oxygen is total misinformation. Texas A&M University has an excellent in-depth guide to incubating and hatching, with a great section about how to store hatching eggs. Google 'Texas A&M Incubating' and you'll find it. It says that to prevent moisture loss in hatching eggs during storage, you can put them in airtight 'ziploc' baggies. I'm sure they wouldn't be telling us that if hatching eggs really did need oxygen.

I haven't done any experimenting with this yet, but I intend to soon. Best way to find out for sure!

The eggs I just got were packaged in paper and bubble wrap. The sender made a little "nest" and put the eggs in there. I just thought I'd share because 32 out of 34 are forming. And that's not to say the 2 that are questionable are coming along... I just couldn't determine exactly if they were or not.
