Reject Hatching Eggs - aka "The Undesirable Egg Experiment"

[CluckNDoodle]

Here goes nothing! I liberally waxed the cracked egg (fortunately it's on the pointy end) and then put a little bit of tape over the wax to hopefully keep the turner from removing the wax. All eggs are set and appropriately labeled! Let's see what happens!

What do all the letters mean?

I named the eggs in my original post, Crackles, Lumpy, Rocket, and Sticky, lol. So I thought it would be easier to keep track by labeling them as such throughout the experiment when I'm candling and updating. There is technically a second oblong egg but it's not quite as severe as the egg I labeled "Rocket". Same for the other egg with the calcium build up, it's not as bad as the one I named "Lumpy".

Okay that’s what I thought. Just needed to make sure since I’ve seen other people label their eggs as A1 B4 C6 etc.

That would make a lot of sense! I may still number these eggs but I mostly wanted to track the odd eggs and I try to keep a little humor in experiments like this, that may have less than stellar results. It will be interesting to see what happens though! I'm usually super picky about what eggs I put in the incubator.

This has me so curious. I look forward to seeing how well they do. We always try to find the most perfect eggs, but makes you wonder how well the rejects would have done. Glad you are trying this!
