Is that all that survived? one of each? Bummer! Good thing you know someone who is a sucker for flocks. Two doesn't make a flock IMO! Pam

Plus the roo like Turk said. They only got the Breese and Isbars. They were trying to get to the other beeeds when we saw them. I just hate it!!!!

I have a isbar roo if you want him as the chick I owe you. He's 7 months old. Pam

Thanks for the offer Pam, since my isbar roo survived I don't really need another roo though. I'm in the process of reworking some of my pens for more security so I'll probably just wait for the next hatch or something and start over.

I just read Isbars should be able to be feather sexed so I'll try to read up on it to get you a pullet. Pam

Has anyone ever had a successful hatch with eggs that have detached air cells? Note to self: be cautious of buying eggs that require shipping from far away.

Shipped eggs are always a gamble. Sorry they weren't in better shap. I know nothing about hatching detached air cell eggs. What breed? Maybe someone local has them. Pam ps look up th benefit auction I told everyone about. Lots of great deals com top breeders across the country and local.

Not from here shes in NY but my friend @RubyNala97 (absolutly her!) had done Tons of reaserch into shipped and had pretty good results. Sometimes a detached air cell will reattach with time and gentle hand turning.

I've done lots of shipped eggs. It doesn't always matter how far they travel but how much damage they get. I let mine sit outside the incubator for 12 hours to rest. Then I set them upright in the incubator, always handling them extra gently!! I don't turn for at least 48 hours. Then I gently candle. If they are still detached you can wait another 12-24 hours. But I found that they really need to be gently turned by day 3. I gently tip them 45 degrees, 5xday. Around day 12 you can turn the turner on. If you really want them to hatch, it takes some extra work. Are the air cells totally detached (like they roll all the way) or just move around the fat end? Fresh eggs make a big difference. Fresh eggs will have tiny air cells, which will get less damage. Whereas bigger air cells will get more damage. If you can develop a relationship with the sender before hand, it's best because then you're more likely to get their freshest eggs. What breed are they?

I'm out of ovations...but thank you Turk!! you too!
