Day 6 update on filthy, porous, detached air cell ameraucana eggs shipped from an eBay person in Florida. I left a negative review, as much as one can do only using 80 characters.

Out of a dozen eggs there are 2 that show growth and an embryo moving. 1 has a blood ring. The rest are clear. No surprise, huh. I will remove duds on day 10. Seems like an awful waste of time. I will commence turning tomorrow day 7.

Well I guess that isn't much of a surprise, but that's horrible. I'm sorry.

Ok, I can't remember who asked about Araucana chicks and if tufts were visible right away... but here's tufts on a chick that just hatched... it's the light colored sprig just below/behind the eye...

Ugh. Sorry about that, such a bummer for eggs you had high hopes for.

That's so cute! Never saw an Araucana chick before. - Thanks for sharing.

Wow they are hard to spot.
One of the 13 I have running around in the brooder is supposed to be an Aracuna . I cannot tell which one though .

So I did it. I ordered 12+ bearded silkie eggs, mixed colors. I'm actually really happy the other lady blew me off except I'll be doing shipped eggs again. Florida to NY. The furthest I've done. Very happy with the quality of the birds. Show/breeder. The breeder said they will be marked with the color and date they were laid. Loved her page. The birds were beautiful but they cost more then pretty penny. Really looking forward to the last set of the year!!

They're easier to see in person... just a little tuft, but it sticks out noticably... if you post close up pics with legs, might be able to tell you...

That is absolutely horrible!!! What did the seller say? I'm so sorry! I know that I would be beyond disappointed and livid!! If you want silkies in the spring, I'll send you some eggs and I can get practice on packing & shipping!

I set 30 eggs. 22 made it to lockdown. I now have 13 in the brooder, though 3 of those I'm not sure if they are ripe enough to survive- I'll know tommorrow. Going through the remaining eggs I found 2 orps were clear, and were just scrambles when I opened them. I have 1 about half zipped, 1 pipped , 1 chirping but not pipped and 4 not doing anything yet left in the incubator.
So that should have been 20 into lockdown but I couldn't see into the orps at lockdown, my torch was too flat.
So that means I have 16 of 20 developed eggs made it to living.
Hmm I think something's gone wrong with my count -
there was one that pipped and died
I'm sure I only had 22 at lockdown
I have 13 in brooder
1 half out of egg
I piped
1 cheeping
2 clears thrown today.
And 4 other eggs.
Where did the extra one come from?

I love the detailed synopsis! I hope the other 4 hatch!!
