Just locked down 71 cot eggs

[TedJan92_in_Idaho]

Swapped them over to the hatcher. 71 eggs just flew all the way from Florida to North Idaho. They arrived in 17 degree weather.
Everyone care to guess how many will make it?? I'm going to say 12 LOL

Oh please say more than 12 lol! How about 13

Come on eggs show your stuff!

Wow! 71 eggs flew all that way? How did they get those little wings through the shells?

 

[TedJan92_in_Idaho]

No, actually it was 84 but 13 crash landed.

Scrambled eggs!

I'm guessing at least 17 hatch!!

So much for eggs that are shipped in 17 degree weather. I know the eggs never got that cold but they were really chilled. LOL
So far about half are pipped or rocking. If I get a 50% hatch rate it will be 3 times better than any I have had with shipped eggs. When they arrived they felt like ice cubes. I placed a few on my face and they were really cold and I thought that I was wasting my time. To me its proof that cold isn't that bad on them unless they freeze.

fingers and toes crossed for you!!

(...gee, I hope they hatch soon...it's hard to do stuff like this.....

Oh no! I made myself be stuck!!!

BTW - made a note - always learn from the pros: When receiving eggs - check temp. with face.

forgive me! Can you tell I'm a tiny bit tired today?

I do sincerely hope you have a great hatch rate!
