I would think that would have effected ALL the chicks and it was only the one basket of chicks.

Could they have piled on top of each other and smothered them? Just brainstorming.

Questions:
Just got a shipment of eggs! I ordered 6 and they sent 9. One has a little crack in it and one is VERY porous. I take it I should discard these 2 eggs, right? Has anyone had experience with porous eggs? I am new to this and just hate the idea of tossing those eggs, but then again, I don't want them to explode or anything. Advise please. Thanks!

I have to change what I just wrote....they are ALL very porous. What causes this? Should I try to incubate them? Will they develope? Should I ask for new eggs? Also, these are Wyandotte eggs and some are really long and skinny. Is that their usual shape. I have never had Wyandottes. Please advise.

I hatch porus eggs all the time... dont worry about that. The crack.... try some candle wax. May not help but worth a try. Wyandotte eggs are normal shaped usually. As with any chicken you might get an odd shaped egg. Usually thsy are pullet eggs. Hatch them ... cant hurt.

Thanks. I am excited about these Blue Laced Red Wyandotte eggs. Has anyone ever tried packing tape on a crack? If not, will try the candle wax. Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it!
