My shipped eggs should be here tomorrow or Friday!

What are they?
You have a maticoopx right?

I have the maticoopx, and the eggs are some red laced bbs wyandotte eggs from egghead Jr and some silver laced Barnevelders I've been eyeing for a few years.

Are those pinecones or eggs?!?

Wrapped eggs. Aircells look good for the most part but they're medium sized, so I'm concerned that these are pullet eggs.

What are they wrapped with? Very strange looking.

That was my point, yes.

I just received some painted turkey eggs and most of the air cells are wobbly. They are pretty important to me. Could you talk me off the ledge? I rested them upright in a plastic egg rack from my GQF for about 8 hours at room temp and put them in one of my empty Genesis incubators upright in the rack so not to get turned for a few days. None of the aircells look fully detached. I have incubated shipped eggs multiple times but I am stressed with these. Will they hatch with wobbly air cells? I can't remember if any of my bad air cell eggs from previous times have hatched.

Only hatched 5 out of the 18 duck eggs I had set. I just am no good at hatching duck eggs apparently. I incubated these in tandem with some turkey eggs so I kept my humidity in the upper 30's. In my defense, the father of probably a lot of these ducklings was crested so that decreases hatch rate. They are a potential mix of blue and black Swedish, Pekin, and crested. They were solely incubated and hatched in one of my Genesis incubators.

Unfortunately, I have no idea, from my reading here, they are usually ok.
