Yeah I have found that celadon eggs are especially fragile when shipped. I have had horrible hatch rates from shipped eggs and even from eggs I picked up and drove home. I think finding local eggs is a much better bet even if they’re pricier. $60 for 12 eggs shipped seems like a really bad idea...
Oh yay for surprise Pansy Fees! What an exciting find! The Manchurians sure are pretty too! I’m happy you had so many hatch! Fingers crossed for the boy Manchurian!
