Pagan, way to go!!!! are these from the ebay shipment or also some of your own???

 

[Paganbird]

The quail, ?ducks?, and guinea are from shelley (and insiderart

) and they were shipped to Pa from Kentucky.

I hope they are duck eggs, if not then we have some really huge-egg-laying chickens!

You must have a very strong light, I can never see parts. But if the foot is yellow (as would be since they should be pekin eggs) you might not see the webbing between the toes. It would be rather clear. Just judge by how full the eggs are, it won't hurt them to stop turning a few days early.

So since one of my eggs pipped this morning how long will it take to zip?

Its not made any progress for 9 hours and I can no longer hear it. When/would you interveen?

Well, also, I believe you said the free-ranging chickens were RIR, which lay brown eggs. These eggs are creamy white... and large. I'm thinkin' duck.

I can see parts in the guinea egg, as well, I just can't tell which parts!

Yes, the RIR are free ranging, but their eggs are lighter than what they should be. But I don't think their eggs are as big as the ones I sent, and the ones I sent 'feel' like duck eggs. I guess we'll know for sure in a few days to a week

LOL this thread made me go pop popcorn. My eggs are probably Fri/Sat poppers, LOL.

Forever... seriously... it seems that way, but I had one pip and not hatch until about 48 hours later.

Give them time... lots of time! Go take a long bubble bath or read a novel... they'll get out.
