shipped eggs

How do I do a hatch-along? Like... this? Am I doing it? I just put some eggs in the 'bator after some of them had quite an adventure. There are 17 mille fluer d'uccle in there that finally got to me after being shipped from Newfoundland on Monday. The seller requested the eggs be held for...

Hi all! I bought 9 California (a.k.a. Valley) Quail eggs online. The seller told me which day they were laid - let's call this Day 0. Here's a timeline: - Day 0: Eggs laid. - Day 2: They were shipped (I have no idea what happened between Days 0 and 2, or whether they were incubated). - Day...

Yesterday was day 21 for Paint Silkie eggs, one chick had foam coming out of egg half way through the zip. I have never seen this before so I didn't end up helping the chick till this morning because I had no idea what it was. The chick is all clean and in Hatcher drying off as of this morning...

Hi, I'm Hatching shipped eggs for the first time from Magnolia silkies. They are Blue and Splash silkie bantam hatching eggs and I put all 3 of my eggs in the incubator already. I candeled them yesterday and they are all developing well but one has a detached aircell. They are due to hatch...

So, I bought some eggs off of eBay, and they sat for about 4 days, being rotated about 4 or 5 times a day... and i just stuck em in the incubator (or box as i call it). And i was wondering if there is any special treatment that they need to have for the first few days, or weeks, or what? So, i...

This is my first time hatching and I was only prompted to because one of my hens goes broody every summer. This year I ordered her fertilized eggs and she has been diligently sitting on them. I was having trouble candeling on the 10th day and to be honest I saw that most people recommend not...

So I bought 5 Ayam Cemani eggs on Ebay, and she sent 6. All well packaged and none were broke. They seemed really small but I put them in the incubator. I got 3 to hatch! They other 3 were fertile but didn't progress. Now here's the problem. I looked up information and they said that pink toes...

This morning, I picked up some eggs that had been shipped to me. The box looked ok...but the contents weren't. Lots of cracked and smashed eggs were inside. :barnie I painted 5 eggs with liquid bandage - some had dents, others had cracks, but this blue OE egg was the most questionable of the...

My mum had eggs shipped to her that arrived today; they were collected between the 17th & 21st, and travelled about 500km. This is only her second time getting shipped eggs, and the first didn't go too well for a few reasons - mainly being poor quality stock (which she found out after buying...

I just set 10 Pilgrim goose eggs in the incubator. Am following @pete55's guide to hatching geese...it worked well for me when I hatched my Chinese goose eggs last year. I'm in an incubating frenzy! It's spring, temps are nice, and eggs are hatching! :jumpy Wish me luck...looking forward to...

Hello Backyard Chicken Folk! Well, we have almost made it to lockdown with 9 Silkie Eggs. Temps in the Genesis have been inconsistant but ive been watching it close and making sure it stays within range. The problem is the Bator thermostat is off, so im monitoring with 3 other thermometers that...

Day 7 into incubating Silkie eggs. Candled today and 2 out of 12 had blood rings so I removed. I thought it would be more clear to me if the others were doing ok but seems the air cells were too big, maybe some still detached?! I was nervous and wanted to get them back in right away. Eggs were...

Hello, I have 13+ fertile chicken eggs arriving on Wednesday. I was wondering if I should let them sit for 24 hours before putting them in the incubator, or do I just put them in when they arrive? Thanks! Xoxo :wee

Does anybody know if both chicks are red cuckoo Orpington? I hatched them from shipped eggs that I bought as red cuckoo Orpington but they look so different from each other Tanks!

I need some suggestions to help some difficult fluid-logged eggs: I got two different sets of eggs shipped. One set was/is in horrible shape. I followed shipped egg guidelines (I believe it was a Sally Sunshine’s article/thread). I am on day 11 of incubation and air cells still have not...

Hello :) I currently have 12 serama eggs going strong on day 13 in my Harris Farms 6100 still air (with auto rotation). I've got four thermometers and two hygrometers inside, set directly between my two rows of eggs so I can maintain 100-101F and 45-55% humidity. This is my very first incubator...

Thank you so much @RainForestBird ! My shipped eggs arrived today. They were packaged beautifully. Unfortunately, USPS not only took them on a scenic route, but they also bounced them about a bit. Even though they only had to cross one state line, it took them four days to get here. They were...
