May WYGS Mystery Swap~ Closed

I should've taken a picture, haha

She bubble wrapped each call duck egg. Then placed inside of a large plastic easter egg! They were wrapped perfect so the egg was snug and wouldn't move inside the plastic egg. 
Then the usual wrapping, bubble wrap/ shredded paper/etc to keep those eggs snug and safe in the box. 

I thought it was PERFECT as I've found that the only broken/cracked eggs are a result from movement when in the box. So if the egg is snug and safe, then it travels much much better!

Now I just have to find some super/jumbo sized plastic easter eggs so I can do that with my duck eggs.......

Plus, it was FUN FUN FUN to open

Ask KYTinPusher where to get those plastic eggs. She would know

walli got them on sale after easter. Anyone go to the Las Vegas wholesale shows? All the importers of that stuff are usualy there . I bet you could buy a bunch there and resell, but you would have to have some room.

When I candle the eggs I'll let you know about the air cells!
Are there any tips for incubating call eggs? I have hatched tons of other ducks, but never call eggs. I have one call hen that I got this year and she is currently sitting on 9 eggs. I would sneak them under her but hers are already close to 2 weeks along. So I think these will get put in the incubator today (I let them sit overnight to help them settle first)

I incubate mine with 45-55% humidity. I lay them on their sides and hand turn 2X's a day. They take 26-27 days typically here (even thought I do have one starting to hatch and it's day 32)!
Do not use an egg Turner, I've never gotten them to hatch if a Turner was used. Lockdown is day 23. You can turn them 3X's a day, I just am to busy for that. During lockdown I go for 65-70% humidity. I'm typically 90-95% hatch rate here including clears. I've only had one clear this year and it was in the snowy pen. Greys have been 100% fertility.

I normally NEVER send eggs after Wed but I looked and the last package I sent you arrived in 2 days. So you should get them by Saturday.
