Yes. I guess I will look at the Julian date next time. Hey, 5 bucks for a dozen is pretty good. They will probably be good layers if I get any!

Thank you for the help!

For long term storage, refrigeration is the best way to keep them.

Do not give up hope!

Does anyone know of a store in San Fancisco that would carry the Fertile eggs? My sister will be coming from there for Christmas. It would be great if I could let her know what I want for Christmas.
Would eggs be allowed on a plane?

Not sure about San Francisco, but the one in San Mateo does.

I went to Sprouts and did not see any eggs That were labeled fertilized. Does anybody know what brand? Wholefoods? Sprouts?

Sometimes the trouble with fridge eggs is they only develop so far. I have not had trouble before and have hatched my own fridge eggs. But when buying eggs fertile, I have only gotten them so far along before they die.

If I have fresh eggs and my incubator I can get 100% hatch. My last was the 16/17 hatch with 3 power outages, maybe 1 or 2 fridge eggs.


My current eggs I got from a gal, she had 3 fresh that day, and 3 from the fridge.

My fridge ones just died after reaching day ten. (Candled dark blob, no blood veins. I know what to look for.)

I still have 3, 2 green and a spotted one. I would only think something was wrong if these last 3 don't hatch.

In the future I would have marked the fridge eggs.

I am on day 8 and have 39 of 45 still going.

I am using a Brinsea octagon 40 advance incubator. I will post an update on day 10.

Well you pull the clears, I don't even know if you count the quitters, You do a count at lock down and I feel those are all you should be responsible for, but especially not the clears. I don't feel bad if it quits, it may not have been the very healthiest, I know the rooster was old...

 

[ronott1]

Today is day 10 and so far so good!

No quitters yet and all 39 eggs are developing nicely--lots of little wigglers in there.

Next candling will be on day 14. I did turn on the cool down cycle tonight. The Brinsea will automatically cool down for two hours a day until I turn it off on Day 18.
