TCS or your ag store should have them

let me get you what I buy, you can see the ingredient and see if they have another brand...

I heard nothing abnormal. But, sometimes when he chirps and makes noises you can hear that he has some mucus buildup. He is perky though...

not sure what up with the comb, listen to his chest sweets.... do you have any antibiotics to give to him, a sulfa? just to be safe?

yes variables but when you get them down you dont even think about them anymore!    you will not want to set them horizontal with wacky air cells.     How did they candle? alot of rolling air cells and wacky loose wiggly air cells?

. So this is pretty much my first candling experience as well. 1 egg has a bubble that moves wherever you roll it. Majority have the weird "saddle" looking air sac that moves but stays at the correct end at least. 2 have what I assume are normal air sacs. They stay mostly in place at the rounded end.

The one that moves around with the egg is a rolling air cell. The "wonky" shaped ones are saddled. Glad to here you have some normal ones though.

it must have been there for the revolutionary war also whites!

Most likely. Heard something about Braddock (I think) using it as a reference point when he surveyed the area. The main trunk is about 6' through!

Is there any chance they could still hatch?

Zoey is right by my side and under foot. She goes bazonkers when she sees a gun, her neoprene vest or the decoy trailer. Plus it doesn't when mama told her she was going to get dead birds in the morning. LOL. We'll be on one of our corn fields but here are a couple water pics of Zoey.

Good looking Lab!

BELOW ROLLING AIR CELL OF A SHIPPED EGG
Rolls like a Carpenters Level



UNDERSTANDING what goes WRONG with SHIPPED EGGS
The yolk of an egg is held in place on each end by what is called Chalaza. These are delicate cords that keep the yolk centered in the egg. When you crack open an egg, you notice a white stringy thing on the yolk, this is the Chalaza. When eggs are shipped they encounter postal handlers that toss the packages, sorting machinery, bumpy vehicle rides, temperature changes and possibly X-ray Machines! So by the time the eggs get to you they are pretty much scrambled inside. So if you are going to buy eggs and have them shipped to you, be aware that the viability drops TREMENDOUSLY. There are rare instances when they ALL arrive safely but it is always a gamble.

BELOW is a short video of an Rolling Detatched Air Cell

SHIPPED EGGS & Malpositions!
BELOW ARE "SADDLE" SHAPED AIR CELLS

SADDLE SHAPED AIR CELLS are very COMMON with shipped eggs!​

Saddle shaped is when one or both sides have a large "dip" in the air cell. A lot of times with saddle shaped cells the chick doesn’t position correct for hatching and their feet can easily get stuck behind their head and “smoosh” the chick so they can’t move, it can also force the yolk sack and everything more north in the shell.... Keep a close eye on these eggs and its VERY important to pencil mark Air cells!​

some say they have hatched them, dont turn your eggs for three days just set upright in the bator and let them settle, the rolling ones you want to probably let longer without turning or tilting.... and I would keep ALL the eggs upright for the entire hatch just gently tilting them side to side in the egg carton with the bottoms cut out (not a paper one though) so they get circulation. again only tilt the heeled air cells after three days. its the only chance for them, you have to take the chance of healing them vs not turning when they are this bad. like I said silkie and polish are tough to travel
