Soooo, sitting here waiting to see if any of the eggs will let out a peep or pip and got to thinking. What does everyone think about how they pick out their eggs for hatching? I mean like the condition of them? From what I read before it seems like eggs that are clean, but not washed off (no poo on or anything like that) is important, smooth, no cracks, scratches or pimples on them is important and not stored for more than 10 days are important. Am I forgetting anything? Also, eggs are very pourous, right? Would it matter if wherever they were stored was in conditions that say a person that smoked heavily, or enough that the eggs & \\ packaging/inside of a mailed box smelled heavily of it? Yes there is a reason to my ponderings on this but my littlest just awoke and I must get him back to bed. I'll bbl

Sounds like you've covered it all. I think size matters, too. An unusually small egg probably won't hatch. The smoking thing...hmmm...I don't know, but it is a very interesting idea. Seems like it might not be good for them, but I bet that others will say it doesn't make a difference.
