Sorry to see your eggs so badly damaged...looks like they drove over the box!

Good luck on your survivors.

Packed very poor.

I can guarantee you mine weren't packed very poor and a few people on here can tell you the same thing. I think from the looks of that box it didn't matter how they were packed. they were doomed.

Yuck! That is an awful mess - so disappointing! I hope you have some survivors!

I feel that bockbock did a fine job packing them. Only a hard case would have withstood that, the box was crushed.

Mine came that smooshed...
and took 4 days...
so that part was better...
I got them from a 'non-BYC' person...

26 were shipped...
19 were in some part intact so put in bator
15 made it to three weeks although I'm a newbie at candling and probably should have tossed some earlier...
and of those, 7 hatched.

sigh...
hey, at least some hatched!!!

the guy sent me another dozen plus two, and 9 of those are developed and on the bator floor, hatch expected tomorrow or friday! all candled with wigglie embryos, and now look 'full' of something...
the others were clears... at 16 days. tossed them.

I'd incubate and take a chance, what the heck.

Well, yesterday I had to take three out because they were leaking in the bator. They had no cracks, but they had already made enough of a mess to get stuck in the turner, and I broke two of them trying to get them out....

I have three from bockbock developing! Yay!!!

And I think there are nine developing from chickenlove! Good fertility, you guys!

They are one week along today.

 

[bockbock2008]

I hate that there are only 3 of the original12 of mine developing for you. I have been having at least a 90% fertility rate of the ones of my own I am hatching. but then again most of mine haven't had the stress of the ones I sent you. The offer stands, if you want to try more let me know.

Thank You bock bock. I will think about it.
