Mine was on top of the other eggs. I'm still not sure if it's bad though, lol. I looked for a crack candling and couldn't find one.

Julie and Still can you both tell me where in the box the bad egg was? This is the first time I have sent call eggs with other breeds. Want to see if I can improve how they ship in the future.

I think mine was on top of the goose eggs. It was wet when I opened it so I candled it and it had a big crack in it.

They will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. They grow up so fast!

Ok thank to you both for that info. You both have been refunded for the broken egg in your boxes.

You don't need to do that for me. You know that.

BTW: If you don't hear from me much tmw, it's because I've "offed" myself. I have been conned into watching 4 kids tmw. Two 3 yr olds, my one year old and a 4 month old.

Glad I quit my good paying job to save others on daycare, so they can go to their good paying jobs. Just sayin'.

Hey Christine! Yay on developing eggs!!

Aircells are not always totally symmetrical, but then there are what I call wonky cells where you see air bubble fixed at top fat end of egg but it droops on one side or is really uneven. That is different from detached where the air bubble is not fixed on fat end of egg. If you lay the egg on side, it would look like an air bubble on top of side of egg. Then there is what I call scrambled. That is where there is no defined bubble at all. If you lay egg on side, you will not find a bubble, but if you set egg fat end up, you can make out daylight above fluid which looks sloshy.

As for your air cells getting larger, take a pencil and draw an outline of your aircell. You can monitor evaporation that way and make necessary adjustments.
