I have GOT to put a pic of Jet up here tomorrow... her legs are so black they look like patton leather! Never seen anything like it... being a BR cross I'm guessing with the leg color she's a girl

I need to go to bed so I don't kill my DH

this is WHY I need to be home and not let him and his buddies randomly drink beer while they work on the house.

Geez! I go to bed early one night and it has to be when all this candling is going on.

Sorry for the mixed results, Sonew. But since they were random eggs, maybe you just picked up the duds. Sounds great on the silkies!

Okay. I'm gonna confess. I candled on day three. (Dork, Dork, Dork!! I know...)

Anyway, can't see anything except what looks like clear eggs. I didn't have much hope since the age of the eggs was borderline, they had not been turned while waiting on me to get home from Duke. Two of the six were fresh, but they are porous, as is one of the others. I'm not even sure they are fertile because I've never hatched my own. Oh, yeah, and don't forget the cold temps they sat in before being gathered. I may get nothing from my girls' eggs! I know it's way early to even be looking and i should not have done it. But one or two would surely be nice. Two, please, so it won't be such a loud peeper. Lone chicks are pitiful. But at least it would give me a reason to buy some at Tractor Supply...see, you can find a bright side to everything! Family thinks I'm losing my mind over these chicks anyway, just wait til I come home with a box from TSC!!! And then I tell my hubby to put another level in the new bator cause I'm about to load it up with a BUNCH of eggs.

I need a 12 step program.

Isn't step one : admit you have a problem? We'd all fail outright... none of us feel we have a problem. Deb? Shark Snipers are sharks that circle auctions and then snipe them at the last minute... um... people like me LOL~

Blessed....you still have a chance...I wouldn't throw those eggs out just yet..wait a few more days and then see how it goes! I wish you luck!

What kinda eggs you have coming?

 

[Brindlebtch]

Wow. I just candled my eggs and almost every one that wasn't aggressively bubble wrapped when mailed is clear or detached yolk.

Houston post handlers are hard on them. I was having pretty good hatch rates with the some of the bubble wrapped eggs and then got a series of newspaper and plastic bag wrapped eggs - nada.

What a bummer.

At least I should have 5 nice Giant Barred Cochins hatching this weekend!

That's something.

sorry for you too Brindle:-(

Just to let you know, sonew, I had some really dark eggs from ruth, and they started sweating in the incubator so I pulled them right away and they were very spoiled. My sense of smell isn't very good and if I hadn't read what you had written on another thread about sweating eggs they probably would have burst and made a real mess!
