Shipped eggs, Air cells, and Hatch-a-long

[SBFChickenGirl]

Yeah. I need some more patience.

I would offer to share but I am lacking my own self. I know I am still waiting on one more egg that was due yesterday... seemed to be moving this morning when I pulled the hatched chicks... we will see what I find when I get home

 

[SBFChickenGirl]

This is the worst part. The part when you know they are supposed to hatch, but you don't know when.

Why in cartons after lockdown?
Got pics?
Be patient.

Because of saddled air cells.

Cartons, without being modified with open spaces below and on sides, can restrict air flow and thus temps...so may be running a bit 'late'.

What am I looking for when I candle @jolenesdad ?

 

[SBFChickenGirl]

Took the eggs out. Nothing happened. Not a peep. No movement. No pips.

Bummer
Had you been candling to look for development?
Eggtopsies done?

Candled on 7, 14, and 18. Couldn't find it in my heart to do an eggtopsy. I know that there were going to be 11 developed eggs.
