Shipped Eggs

[peptowishboon]

Just received my shipped eggs in the mail. All eggs are intact and packaging was great.

Some of the eggs are dirty. How dirty is too dirty to incubate? I have not candled yet as I’m letting them sit but I know one for sure looks very porous without even candling. Should it be ok to incubate as well?

I would incubate all of them 'as is' and monitor closely.

Those eggs are not too dirty....

Incubate all, 'as is'... you dont want to remove what momma gave them. On day 7- candle them. I wrtie on eggs with a pencil a + or question mark. I write it down on a sheet of paper- with the date.

That way I know if they 'were viable' or 'still viable'. I had a seriously 'porous' egg- turn out to be the most incredible baby.
