PAYPAL/Hatching Eggs Swap FEEDBACK

[pysankigirl]

Sorry, I am laughing 'cause I just saw this and earlier tonight I was PM'g AyeUp and used it (the not quite a swear-word) in the middle of another word and the language censor ****** it out! I am pretty sure I only 'thought' the word so now I think my thoughts are getting censored =:~) maybe I am on the naughty censor list ........ (wicked grins sneaking thru)

ps I love looking at your art-on-eggs. So lovely

No, I have been censored to, and for using a word that I didn't even know was a bad one!!! the word that means "ticked off" but stars with "p"...let's see if I can write it this way: pi$$ed...is THAT a bad word???

I was talking about my dog and called her a ....you know and it sensored me. I hate when words like that sensored.

Just received a beautifully packaged box of egglets from my swap with Debs_flock. All are in fantastic condition, thanks for the extras!

Quote: Had that one done many, many times. I just don't think of it that way and have way too many Aussie and UK friends to even try to use an 'improper' word mix of "little girl doggies" without being chastised for being ignorant and silly! That's why I was laughing at being on the 'censor thought list' as I don't think I wrote anything but with the ****** put in after it was printed/typed out.... asterisks =;~)

Wonderful hatch from crfarms birchen marans. I have 7 beautiful chicks out of 11 sent. I fully formed chick pipped but died in shell. It either pipped on the bottom of the egg or was flipped by the others. I had suspected 9 were developing by feel. I haven't pulled the others but suspect they are through. I will give them until Saturday just in case I have some late bloomers because my Coros are still hatching and they were set at the same time.

Update on my Orpington eggs received from WVchick71:
Out of 12 eggs that were sent,10 eggs went into lockdown and I have 5 hatched, 2 pipped and nothing yet from the other 3.

Of the six eggs I got from 202roosterlane, I had one clear. The other five went to lockdown. Three chicks hatched Thursday and Thursday night. Nothing from the other two, although I left them in for another day or two in case they're late bloomers. I don't expect them to hatch at this point, so I'd say 3/6 for this shipment.

Now, this is my first time using an incubator and I am hoping desperately that I'm doing it all correctly. My update on candling thus far is:

Lav Orps from kraftyladies--these were lost in the mail for 8 days! Still in the homemade incubator. I cannot see A THING through these eggs when I try candling them so it's hard to tell. Today is only day 4, but I hoped to see some veining somewhere. 4 of them have the same size air sack as when I put them in so I think they're goners. The other 4 have a much larger dark air sack area, but they are so dark I'm not seeing any veining yet. Will wait and see...poor things went through so much in the mail, I'm hoping some make it. Not kraftyladies fault at all.

Eggs from DMRippy--These are on day 6. I have the BBS Marans eggs that are sooooo dark, I can't tell much at all. Here is what this novice is seeing--1 egg appears to have some veining that I can tell, 1 has a small air sack like when it went in, and 3 I'm unsure about. The dark area on these appears to have "saddled" and takes up most of the upper part of the egg. Since these are such a dark brown, I'm not able to really see any fetus or veining. Any suggestions?
Also from DMRippy, I have some SBELs also on day 6. The two that were marked from the Blue Wheaton are not veining at all. The one from the Lavender is the BEST LOOKING EGG in my bator right now! That thing looks super! I also got an extra--a WL that isn't showing any growth or veining.

From gamebirdsonly--I have Olive Eggers and Cuckoo Marans. Three out of 4 cuckoo marans look great. Good veining on those. All 4 of the olive eggers are super looking, too!

At this point, I'm happy. I just have one question from you veterans! Some of my eggs with great veining have the ring--what looks like a fine blood ring...is that normal on every egg? All appear to be growing. If I candle again at day 10...will I be able to tell for sure on those? I have combed through all of the threads and a few sites with pictures of candling and I'm still somewhat lost. I'd appreciate any advice.

I am now on day 11 and still no eggs in the mail from AyeUpChuck. Who knows where they are... planning to ship more eggs to me after my incubator empties out.
