That would be me. Tomorrow is day 8, so I think I will candle tomorrow, or maby late tonight. Will I be able to tell those that are "good" from those that aren't by now? And I should toss those that are clear? I'm almost afraid to look as I am already super bumbed out about this entire ordeal. the seller did say she would send me more eggs for the cost of shipping, but I dont know if I want to have eggs shipped that far again.
Im gonna go watch some of those videos that were sudgested earlier. Hopefully I will have at least half that are good. But think that maby hoping for 15 out of 30 is a bit of a stretch with as bad as the eggs were.
I'll let you know that I kept all of mine until day 18. I did check them for smell.. But I had one I would have tossed hatch.
Well I candled, and every single one that I pulled, I also cracked open just to see. Every single one that I cracked had nothing in it, and was so scrambled that the white and yolk were the consistancy of water. Just poured out of the eggs. Any that were not definately clear, I left in the bator.
So far the losses are; 4 bantam, 4 light sussex, one ? marked egg, 3 Cukoo Marans, 1 CMX, and 1 thats marked with an F. All of these were totally scrambled, watery, and clear. There are 5 more that I am iffy on, but will wait and see so long as they don't start smelling.
Edited to add. I am in no way saying that this is the sellers fault. The eggs were perfect, all intact, with no major damage to the box. I'm thinking they got pretty shook up during transport.
