Hedgeland Farms
Crowing
I've been talking to my seller abt her little farm and such. She's shipping my eggs Monday after they are laid. I am truly excited to get another chance. She's nice as can be and only 7hrs from me!

Sorry your eggs didn’t make it. I’m glad you get to try again! I know some people swear by not turning early on for shipped eggs but I’d only reserve that for if you have detached air cells. I have read so many times how critical turning is in the first week on incubation so I wouldn’t skip that unless there’s really good reason. Hopefully coming from a shorter distance you’re next set will be in better shapeMy last egg quit too.
I have another dozen plus coming and will try again. I've already spoken to the post office to let them know to hold and call, and the eggs are only shipping from 7 hrs away, instead of STATES away.
I've reset everything up on the incubator and am deciding (after some reading) to start with a lower humidity and work together with the air cell growth to determine which way in needs to go. I took my egg turners out of the incubator and will turn by hand starting around day 4 or 5. The eggs will rest 12-24 hrs depending upon what the air cells look like prior to going into the incubator. The incubator is up and running in preparation for the eggs, and so that I can become more familiar with it.
I'll be watching the thread I'm anticipation of hatching eggs!!!
Yeah, I plan to take a look and decide. I have different colored egg cartons in my incubator so I can color code if necessary bc of having some bad air cells and maybe some that are not.Sorry your eggs didn’t make it.

You could mark any eggs with a pencil also if that is easier!Yeah, I plan to take a look and decide. I have different colored egg cartons in my incubator so I can color code if necessary bc of having some bad air cells and maybe some that are not.
