well i ordered SLW eggs on ebay
3 arrived smashed 1 blew up in the bator (smelled great )
all the others but 1 were clear
anyone on here willing to sell me some hatching eggs
i'm on the east coast
at this point anything better than hatchery quality would be better than what i have...
we have the same problem with our BBS imported english orpingtons
the birds that are used for breeding get a little butt trimming
this fixes the problem of getting nothing but clear eggs
well my eggs arrived today
2 broken & 1 cracked out of a dozen
worst packing job i have ever seen
i sent eggs to a guy on the west coast, he then took those eggs box & all in his luggage & flew to the Philippines
when he opened the box the eggs were still in good shape
not bad for...
i have found that chicks from shipped eggs don't turn out to be as hardy as chicks from my own birds here
my hatch rate for long distance eggs is only about 25% :(
i hope everything works out for you

Hello SLW folks
my wife & I already have buff orpingtons (part english) also imported blue & splash english orpingtons in out flocks
we are now looking to add some SLW's to our place up here in the new hampshire hills
what should we look for (the good & the bad)
thanks in advance
