INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Peep_Show]

What I've done for my saddled eggs is let them rest at room temp for 24 hours. Then put in a ready incubator for 24 hours with no turning. Then plug in turner and turn and incubate as normal. Didn't hurt the other eggs handled the same way, either. The only extra care is to put the largest saddled end skyward at lockdown.

Also found that any eggs with a floating bubble (kind of like a construction level...bubble goes from end to end) gets chucked as that means the membrane is perforated.

You don't know why you cracked the egg? Are you unaware of your own thought processes?

When checking fertility you have a choice to set it and wait to candle, or to crack it open, why did you choose to crack it instead of incubating it?

because I cracked it.

Good morning!!

I received some shipped eggs. About half have saddled air cells. Half have nice air cells. From what I read, I leave the saddled eggs in a styrofoam egg carton with the bottoms cut out. I DON'T turn them for the first day settling, and then I put them in the 'bator upright, and turn off the turner for 24 hours?

Do you all agree with the above?

Do I treat ALL the eggs the same? Or do I treat only the good air cells like I treat my own eggs that don't have any air cell problems?

Thanks!!!

Not sure what to do with the saddle celled ones. The others I would let them rest for at least 12 hrs, for them to just settle down and get to room temp before putting them in the bator. I think most text says to let all shipped eggs rest for a period of time before putting them in.

Not certain about Cynthia, @draye
  I believe does. Draye, how rough are roosters on turken hen necks, do they puncture?

Depends on the rooster. I've had some that tears them up and some are gentle.
