I have some chicken eggs and 4 Muscovy eggs in my incubator right now. Is anyone else incubating in a bator or with a broody hen? How's it going for you?
I had 10 shipped in from Kentucky, 18 brought to me via car from WA state, and then I tossed in some from my own flock. Surprisingly, the shipped eggs (which arrived with 1 broken) are doing better than the car transported ones! I wonder if the person I got them from didn't turn them every day... Or if they stored them too warm/cold. Who knows? My eggs are going 100% at day 7 today, not surprising there :) I know they were fresh and turned, haha!
Any pearls of wisdom for shipped eggs? I rested them and didn't turn them the first 2 days in the bator to let the air cells settle (they're Marans eggs, so I was just being sure).
