When my husband and I got married we both already had 2 children each from prior marriages. His were already grown. I was pondering the idea of another baby and he told me, "I want to have you all to myself". Lol, now I have chicken babies!

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Very little liquid. Didn't see a yolk - looked like it had been absorbed. Looked like they just never made it out of the shell, poor things.

I wanted to check weights, but I found the scales I had were just not accurate enough. The shells were too dark to see air cells, even.

we don't want their motor and gun parts in the house- but you know what? chickens are babies ... they don't care for babies. attention stealers!

what happens sometimes... with shipped eggs they can get to hatch day but for whatever reason....could be they aren't positioned correctly ....they don't hatch
nothing I've read that you've posted seems off...you've done all you can!
I'm so sorry I know how disappointing it is! I've had some badly handled eggs have a few hatch...some that came looking great but never developed, I've had everyone hatch....you just never know until they hatch!

one other thing...we don't know the health of the parent birds with shipped eggs...that could be a big part
