that is a day early?

It's a day earlier than the tracking info said, but we expected it today since they were only coming from 5 hours away and she mailed them Monday afternoon. They hit Syracuse at 5 last night and that's 2 hours from me.

So Ruby did an awesome job at packing! Not a single crack. I walk into the post office and there it sits on the counter on it's side. WIth big ole arrows saying this side up. I wanted to smack the clerk and ask her if they could read. But, I didn't. I figure if I did and ever had eggs shipped again they'd be scrambled next time.

Anyway, I unpacked and candled. On many I had a hard time making out the air cells, she did an awesome job on humidity control during storage. Some I could make out the outline of the cell, but not the actual "air". A new experience for me. There were a few "wobbly" cells I could make out. 3 or 4 already show saddling, but they were all in the same corner of the box so I'm guessing that corner got nailed. BUT I did not see any that were totally detached and moving around. So I am very hopeful. I am quite pleased with the package. They are sitting and resting. I plan on setting them tonight at midnight, that gives them 14 hours of rest. I'm going to put them in a cut down carton at midnight and not turn them tomorrow. Friday I will start tilting and this weekend I will candle to see if all air cells are firmed up and if there is any development and if so I will lay them down for the rest of the incubation. Depending on what the saddled look like I might leave then upright.

Thank you @RubyNala97 !!!!!!

I am half excited and half nervous as heck.

  bought a cheap FI still-air styro.  But it was a strategic purchase!  ONLY to be used as a hatcher for staggered sets.  (or possibly for the days while hatching in the Brinsea?) 



Sorry, didn't continue the story yesterday, life got in the way   





Awesome!  Have you set in your new Jay-machine?  Or when are you going to?



Welcome to the PURPLE team!  :yiipchick

Sounds like they had great packing, were fresh eggs and had a relatively short trip. All good signs!
