Sloshing eggs...

[UrbanMama]

Is it worth it to keep them in the bator? I had some silkie eggs shipped to me and the PO did a real number on them. Every single one of them "sloshes" around when you tilt them. They even have tiny little bubbles in them from moving around. Is it even worth wasting incubator space on these guys? Has anyone ever had something like this hatch? In my meager experience...I never have.

I had some that arrived like that...air bubbles all over the place...I think 3/18 ended up hatching...not a lot, but worth it if you really want them. You can always just leave them in for 5 or 6 days then toss the ones that aren't developing.

Kelly, thank you for that little bit of hope.

I did put them in the incubator when I got them on Mon. and I figured the same thing about candling in a few more days..... but I'm so glad to hear that there's at least a little but of hope!

I have never had one of those eggs develop, even though I try. They are the classic "non fertile" eggs that everyone who ships eggs in the mail gets accused of sending at one time or another.
