Tolbunt Polish

[AtxChick]

I understand it took me a few years of watching before I was able to get started in tolbunts. They are very pretty birds.
Have you hatched shipped eggs before?

I have not hatched shipped eggs before but have tried doing my research. Here's to hoping I did enough. I unpacked the eggs. Let them settle for about 12 hours at room temp. The incubator is set at about 101 and I have an automatic turner. I have hatched out chicks before from my own chickens using a broody hen.

Those eggs look normal and just like my Tolbunt eggs...

Thanks everyone for the input, I'll keep my fingers crossed that all goes well!

Sounds like you are on the right track- are you using a still air incubator?

Yes, still air incubator.

Thses look like perfectly normal polish eggs to me.  Some say the pointed eggs are more likely male, I am not sure that is true.  Did you candle the eggs to check the air cell. Many of the eggs look to be laid by one layer, the aircell would let you know if the eggs are from a small flock and have been saved up to ship.
Good luck on your hatch.

Thats exactly what they should look like.

I have ordered eggs from a couple different lines and the other two batches are not shaped in such an exaggerated oval shape. I have candled them and most appear fertile but im concerned about their ability to develop properly and hatch on their own. I did order some eggs from you mycutekitties... just candled them today and so far so good on just over half (you sent me extras). I cant wait to meet my tolbunts!

Provided the incubator is working correctly, correct humidity, correct temperature there should be no problem. Very exciting though!
