so how big are full grown SFH eggs? The eggs that I got in the mail barely fit in my egg turner. They're huge!

I did manage to get a couple pictures of my girls this morning.
They will be 7 months tomorrow.

Today is supposed to be hatch day, but nothing doing. Maybe it will start later. Or even tomorrow. I'm trying very hard to not be anxious, but last hatch, I had a bunch of eggs that died at lockdown. So I'm very nervous that it will happen again.

If these don't make it, I'm going to order chicks instead. I can successfully hatch -- I have 5 backyard mix chicks I incubated alongside the SFH eggs (I set 6, one cohldnt make it out of the weird shell) and they hatched a few days ago --- but shipping is so hard on eggs. I already tossed like 8 of this hatch because they quit or were clear.
