I'm so sad

[StevenW.]

I'm so sad out of the 30 eggs I had in the incubator only 9 were left in it. I only have 2 Australian Spotted Duck eggs left and 7 Ancona Duck eggs left.
The bantam duck eggs the Air Cells were completely destroyed The air cell when you moved the egg a little would go to the other end of the egg

On the Ancona duck eggs they just didnt grow but air cells were intact but it was cold when she sent them so I'm very happy with them

But I cant beleive how many of them bantam duck eggs I threw out

Were they shipped or your own?

Shipped.
I know this happens but I've never threw that many eggs out at once

I know how you feel, I just candled the Cuckoo Marans eggs I got on Monday. 10 out of 12 had detached and ruptured air sacs, and the two that had intact air sacs appear to be duds. The PO must have played kickball with the box. None of them were broken, but that's the first time I've seen ruptured air sacs out of the 7 batches of shipped eggs I've gotten.

This could be the 10th time I've got shipped eggs and this is the worst one yet

Thank you, that cyber hug actually made me feel better.

Look at it this way, at least you're still going to get some babies out of it. Be glad it isn't a total loss like my Cuckoos. *sigh* I've heard it's better if the sender doesn't write "Fragile: Hatching Eggs" on the side. How sick is that?

Your welcome

All the eggs I have gotten had fragile or eggs on it and one person drew a duck on every side saying "FRAGILE DUCKS EGGS! PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL!"
I'm looking for some replacement eggs

After these hatch cause with my luck I get about 3/4 boys

Sorry to hear that Steven

... always a gamble with shipped eggs. Hope you get a great hatch next time!!

I finally got my ReptiPro to stay at 100 degrees by putting it up to 107 degrees
