Let them sit for 12 hours no movement then incubate.

13 are detached and rolling. 2 are saddled badly

Are they incubating and turning?

The best thing to do is to leave them big end straight up and not turning in the incubator for up to three days. Sometimes the eggs will recover enough to hatch.

The eggs need to be in cartons for the entire incubation period--including lockdown.

The saddle air cells will hatch better. Expect 25 to 50% on the detached air cell eggs.

Regardless of what you think, the eggs were likely not packed well. They did not use the "Skyline" packing method. Wishers thread has repeatedly shown that method to be the best for shipping.

Let them warm up for a couple of hours if they are cold and then put them into the incubator like I posted above. If you have an egg turner it is very important to get is set flat so that the eggs are not tilted at all. Be as gentle as possible with them for the first week. They are damaged and need a lot of energy to heal. They will if hatch if they can recover and still have enough reserved energy to make it to the end.

Turn on the turner after three days, counting today.

I hope for the best for those eggs!

True, to a point. If you have the cash to buy a house (hah!) you would have to decide if you can make more by investing it than using it to buy a house and having interest to deduct. Remembering that if you pay $1K in interest in a given year and take that off your income, your taxes owed won't go down by anything close to $1K. Not even for the very richest 1%. If your marginal tax rate is 25% (starts at $79,500 for married filing jointly this year), you are STILL out $750 of that interest. If you are in the 15% bracket, $850 is "lost" to the bank.

Even for the ultra rich, Bruce is right, if you can afford to own your house outright and NOT pay interest on a mortgage, you save a bunch or money. Remember that the tax deduction for that mortgage interest is your tax bracket portion of the interest paid amount. You decide who you'd rather pay... the IRS (smaller amount) or the bank (all that interest). The mortgage interest rate write off isn't fair in that renters get no tax break. Of course there's that married tax break also. The fact is that the govt uses taxation to do social engineering. FAIR & EQUITABLE taxation would be where every person pays the SAME % tax on earned income, no matter what their income is or where said "earned" income comes from, with NO deductions except perhaps a single set amount based on the poverty level.

This morning we had an ice storm (thanks, latestarter) and I left 25 minutes early in a bit of a panic so I could get to work safely. About 5 minutes down the road the car heated up so I turned the heat on, and I don't like it blowing in my face, so I put it on my feet. Immediately I was smelling something awful. It took me about halfway to work before I realized I was cooking biddy poop.

Sorry SCG about the ice storm

...

about the cooking poop. Did your coworkers comment on your perfume?

Hope the eggs recover for you @1kluckychik . Those are some expensive birds.

Nope. I was the first one in and have a backup pair of shoes at work. I double bagged my poo-shoes and slipped my spare pair on. I just washed my work shoes. They're suede so hopefully they survive.

I hope those eggs recover, too, bama. Mainly for selfish reasons

I will liberate eggs from you and Wisher.
