So I'm totally jealous of all these others with the good luck. I have waited for these 2+ dozen eggs for months...
I just sent the seller an email about this along with all of the pictures I took. So I'm not sure what their response will be....but I'm not going to bash this person at this point...they didn't do a horrible job of packing....just maybe an inadequate one...and the box just had one "fragile" sticker on it...
Nearly all of the eggs were broken upon arrival today. What was odd was that the box wasn't smashed or anything but they must have tossed it around, a lot. I got 9 unbroken eggs out of the whole bunch.
Most were completely cracked or smashed-looking and some had what looked like very thin shells that had shattered...others were oozing liquid out and still others had spider-web type cracks and weren't leaking. I tried to seal one of the webbed ones with candle wax which I did count as a "survivor" so we'll see if it makes it or not.
The non-cracked ones are resting now and I'll put them in the bator before I go to bed.
I am not expecting any of them to make it...the initial candling looks like all of the air sacks are disrupted and floating around....but I will them a chance....
Wet newspapers from leaking eggs:
Oozing...
Eww!
The one I put the wax on....you can barely see the hair-line crack....
Puncture wound (leaking)
