Yeah, my little butt munches, the oldest in the first photo is the worst, but the next on down is following right in his older brothers steps. Plus he has that blonde hair and freckles to win us over

Yes those were just extras for you. The others were collected Sunday thru Tuesday - The Sumatras and Polish don't lay every day. I am REALLY glad I found out about the other pen's fertility problem before I shipped those out to you. Only 3 out of the 10 hatched. I was still within the 2 week limit set forth in the initial post and sent extras, I really don't know what else I could have done. I'm sorry you are disappointed. Trust me I will NOT participate again. Have a great day.

Pbirdhaven I think you were a little harsh on TheRanch. We have 2 weeks to get the eggs sent out. I think the other two are fine they should have been 7 and 9 days old, and you can incubate them up to 10 days. I personally would not have a problem putting them in my bator. The other eggs were collected within 3 days and shipped on the 4th day.

Now she feels like she can't participate anymore.

Double Ditto, while I would not condone sending old
eggs if they are all you send, it certainly can't hurt to send them as extras, just in case they are still viable. And those weren't too old.

I've hatched eggs that were 30 days old AND have been in the fridge.

I think 2 week old eggs still maintain excellent hatchability and it only begins to decrease after that.

People need to remember...that it takes more than 3 days for a clutch to be laid..older eggs can still hatch!
