Well, Im stoked today! Got 15 eggs in the mail and 10 of my own sitting ready to go in the bator tomorrow afternoon. My 10 should all be Blue Copper Marans and the 15 mail eggs should be a mix of Blue Copper, Black Copper and splash. Cant wait to see how this turns out!

Good luck i put eggs in the bator last sunday..


Lady hope your feeling better


and for the cracked frozen eggs, if i dont use them i either give to dogs/cats or back to chickens.. to precious to throw out..

Why not boil the frozen egg and feed it back to the hens? Better than throwing them away. 

thats what do with them as well unless i have chicks then they go to the chicks

I just dusted the whole coop (lice. ugh.) so I'm not keeping ANY eggs that aren't 100% intact. If it's just a small crack and the membrane isn't broken I feed it to the dogs generally.

WOW ....you can ship eggs in this freezing weather? That would make me very nervous!

Good luck on your hatch!

For those what were/are interested, I started a thread for incubating/hatching for us Michiganders.

I would be worried that they had frozen in shipping.....I'm planning an early February hatch, but am stymied by frozen egg gathering let alone shipping.

they all appear to be in very good shape so they're going in tomorrow and we'll see what happens

Dusting products may contain several different chemicals such as organophosphates (OP's) and all have a specific withdrawal time, as some of it is ingested/absorbed by the treated animal and can pass on into the eggs, meat and milk. There is growing evidence that even small amounts of many chemicals thought safe can cause harm in the long term. Check the product label for proper withdrawal times.
