Incubating Eggs before Shipping

[pascopol]

Lots of speculation, fairly tales, and reality streching here.

If te egg started to develop, resulting in viable and live embrio with veins etc, I do not believe it would survive 3 days of shipping unless the temperatures somehow were in the high 90's during shipping process.

Anyway unless a scientific test is performed by a reputable source, I reject such tales as curiosity and pure fantasy.

Just like all the tales with magnet and other tricks in reference to accurately sexing undeveloped eggs.

If there was a way to determine sex of future chick, don't you think commercial hatcheries would jump on this?????

That would lift their bottom line above stratosphere (no more unwanted cockreals, besides almost dubling the capacity and profitability of their efforts.)

Yet there is still some suckers out there who would purchase gadgets surfacing now and then on ebay and else promising crystal ball as for chick's sex by doing mumbo jumbo over hatching egg.

LOL

Hi! Matter of fact, they do and did. I wouldn't know anything, except for the folks that say they had "the best hatch ever, from pre-incubated eggs". There must be something there.

So what is the "secret" timeframe?

And what does it mean?

"Best hatch ever from preincubated eggs" ?

Sounds like another fairy tale legend building, how about some facts and proof instead "it did not work for me but worked for countless folks".

Are those "countless" keeping secret the "secret time-frame" ?

LOL

So I just ordered "Heat Treated" eggs here https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=456087 , and I have to say I am excited to try out eggs that started the incubation process before shipping.

No I don't believe any of the commentators believe shipping an egg which has been incubated three days makes "the egg stronger inside an better able to take shipping." it's all about shipping fertile eggs.

The question is how does a setting hen hatch all of her eggs with in a 12-18 hour time period instead of however number of days it took her to lay the eggs?

Joe

You do realize that the eggs don't start developing until the hen sets them? So the eggs that are 12 days old and the eggs that are 1 day get 'started' at the same time...THAT'S why they hatch about the same time.

Will do. I have to admit, it was a big selling point for me, I'm Excited to try a new incubation method.
