I am in. Setting Blue Wyandotte Eggs at Noon. I do not need any chicks so I am only setting 8----for my nieghbors Bator is ready to go!

The eggs are now resting for the few hours before we set!

I had mostly good news when I opened the box and a couple of questions for Renee.
First the good news:
She sent two extras!

The air cells all look great!

Question:
Renee, what are the ones marked 1/P? I understand the blue ones, and the ones with K or Konza on them but curious about the other three?

Bad news:
One egg has a dent/crack and of course it had to be one of the fluffy AMs.

Question/advice for/from all of you:
Should I tape/wax the egg and set it or not take the chance that bacteria has gotten in and could damage other eggs? Here is a pic:


Here are the whole bunch together


You are right Mahonri, it was a St. Paddy's Day miracle and I thanked the very nice lady at the PO more than once for calling me.

I've never hatched an egg with a crack that deep... but hey, you've already had one miracle, right?

I/P Isabel / Porcelain Orps!

That crack looks the same as the one I had for the v-day hatch and it hatched fine! I just taped over the hole.

I am so amazed by folks that can put in just 8 eggs. God bless you. Y donde en Utah vives?

Survey seems to be to try it so I am gonna go for it. I will just keep a close eye/nose on it. First sign of a blood ring and out it goes. Just worried about chancing the rest of them. Thank you Featherz and Mahonri (I was hoping to hear that advice!)

Correct! Unless its Halloween! LOL

Your not the only dude... and I'd bet you are not the only nurse... the way I've been getting advise around here.

I'll just bet you don't wear eye makeup....
