Thought this thread was interesting for shipped eggs. I'm in the middle of reading it since my eggs seem to be scrambled!

DMRIPPY could successfully send nitroglycerin the way she packs eggs! Omg! I've never seen eggs packed so well. They were perfect. Can't wait to get them all rolling. She sent a pot load.

Now I'm worried. The seller waited until late yesterday to ship the Brahma eggs. Now I am looking at them sitting at the post office over the weekend.

Rowlow: how is the homemade incubator working for you. we tried real hard to make one, but just could not get the thing to regulate temp & humidity. So we just went ahead and bought a store one.

Well so far it seems ok. I went and bought a different Temp and humidity indicator. I stopped messing with the water heater thermostat and am just gonna let it go and see if it works. If it doesn't I'm going to totally redo it and put a temp controller with a thermocouple and a PLC to automate the whole thing lol. I'll post in several days and let you know what I see when i candle the eggs.
