Awe, too bad only one of your shipped eggs is doing well. Glad to hear you have others coming along well! I can't wait till (hopefully) we're all starting to hatch!

Hi All!

I'm a little late - set my 14 shipped Norwegian Jaerhons on 8/13. Candling today for the first time. Wish me luck

Thanks

I didn't expect any of the shipped eggs to grow after being so damaged, so it will be fun to have Partridge colored Wyandotte chick running around with my Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chicks if it hatches

Good luck with yours!

Two out of the seven bantys are good which is upsetting in a way since mine stopped laying and I was looking forward to the little bantys but two are good let’s hope they both make it

. all 8 of my BO eggs are growing and you can see dancing chicks

3 of which were in the fridge for two weeks. The rest are hard to tell the ones I could see in were growing but the rest are just too dark I think I have a RIR and that is her eggs so lets hope for fuzzy butts

Thanks all for letting me join in at this late date, now you can all celebrate with me... all of my Norwegian Jaerhon eggs have veins except two - one is clear and the other is a blob.

That would be an amazing hatch rate for shipped eggs!
Someone at the post office must like me - plus the seller did a wonderful job wrapping each egg and then shipping them with really soft pine branches and needles. Smelled like Christmas when I opened the box!

What a difference, candling white eggs!!!!! I could see so much more than with my prior batches of brown eggs on Day 7.

The last time I did this - about 6 months ago, my DH and I thought 3 of the eggs were bad, only to find out there were three viable embreyos in those eggs. I decided to always crack open the eggs I'm incubating just to be sure I'm candling correctly. Oh boy, it's terrible to find out you're wrong

Three beautiful Partridge Brahma chicks done away with by my own hands! After my last experience, I'm afraid to throw anything out. I did mark the clear egg and the blob egg so I will know which ones they are next time I candle. Hopefully at least the blob will show some devellopment.

Good luck to the rest of you with your candling

We have a wonderful variety of eggs going here..Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, a Partridge Wyandotte, Silkies, Blue and Black Spalash Ameraucanas Gold Orpingtons and Blue Orpingtons, Jersey Giants...did I miss anyone?

Yay! Besides the bantam eggs, sounds like the rest are doing great!

I love seeing the chicks bobbing up and down and get a kick out of the ones that dive to the bottom of the egg to hide from the light

What a great percentage for shipped eggs! I once had a 100% hatch of EE eggs that were shipped all the way from Georgia to California. I contribute a good hatch rate from shipped eggs, to packing and healthy parent birds. The breeder you got them from is to be commended!
