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

[TJChickens]

So sorry. Hopefully that seller just made a mistake and will own up to it and learn how to properly package eggs

She doesn't sell eggs so I am not putting any blame on her. I just hope I can get more and that she doesn't mind packing them how I suggest....

Just found this thread! I'm in the second week of my first incubation attempt! I have 40 eggs, 3 Swedish Isbars and 5 Cream Legbars, 2 RIR/EE eggs, a few RIR/Golden Comet eggs and the rest are RIR/Black Sex Links. The pure breed eggs are ones I ordered from a breeder off of Ebay. They claimed an above 90% success rate but when I candled my eggs on day 8 none of the ones I ordered were developing. I truly don't believe it's user error or an incubation newbie mishap, because all of the other eggs (32) are developing and have VERY visible veins at this point. A friend that raises chickens suggested I leave them in the incubator since they are tinted blue and green eggs and maybe I just couldn't see the veins. If anyone has incubated Swedish Isbar or Cream Legbar eggs and has any insight on what the issue could be I would greatly appreciate it! Are their eggs perhaps more sensitive to temperature or humidity than other breeds?? My fear is that I wasted my money on a sham and that they weren't even fertile to begin with!

Welcome! Glad the other eggs are developing. The tinted ones I am not sure about. Maybe you just couldn't see the veining because of the color? Or they could have just been messed up from shipping? Either way good luck. You seem to be doing great so far!

The other hen must've realized how abruptly she stopped laying because now she decided to lay again! I will have a decent amount of eggs to set now

The six Bantam EE eggs set under Jordan, my first time broody, are all veining nicely
I candled all six in less than 20 seconds, just took a peek. I saw three moving!

Whooo Hooo!!!

Then it was probably just a mistake because she had never done it before. I am sure if she sends you a replacement she will pack them the way you suggest, considering this batch didn't ship well.

One very expensive vet visit later I am told the boy seems to have a bacterial infection caused by debris. He will be getting antibiotic pills twice a day.

The girl had debris, but no pus so no antibiotics for her.

Hubby will be changing their bedding to get rid of the DE he put down against my advice.

The vet prescribed Clavamox

@TJChickens

That is horrible packing, very similar to how the Phoenix eggs were packed.
