Well, my eggs went in on the 24th, late. I had 3 dozen eggs I set the same day, early from 2 different shipments. Pulled a bunch halfway, locked down at least 25 eggs, including 10 from the swap. The 2 remaining light brown eggs got pulled later (Chunky! Eww!) when I got my awesome amazing spiffy neato groovy keen incredible new flashlight that lets me see the tiniest of veins in blue eggs...
And so on day 23, I get 5 babies from one of the batches of earlier that day...banty. I give more time. I have 5 pip and die from other batches, and one that starts crumbling that isn't alive: pre-boom! I pull it quick.
Nothing. This morning I wake up to two of the lovely white eggs from this swap pipped and dead. Later I come home to a brown that did the same. I candle- this is heartbreaking! One brown is still alive, active. I have to wait! No peeping, no pip. Never a sound out of these.
I'm not dying anymore...I'm dead. I did an eggtopsy on one of the white ones. It had pipped through the veins and bled heavily. It had lots of remaining white in there, gelled up. I've never seen that before! The ones that hatched were normal, just late- not goopy or anything. They were all in the same conditions the whole time.
I am keeping my prayers for the one remaining brown egg!! I feel awful! I've been running 6 incubators since July and haven't had this much trouble. Makes me sad!
