I didn't get to open my box of eggs until very late after they arrived. They had rested in the unopened box all day. When I opened them up I was treated to the absolute best packing I have ever seen on shipped eggs. Thank you Skyline! However, as I carefully upacked them, I discovered that every last egg was pointy end UP. Oh, if only I had known I could have turned the box over so they could have rested correctly. I righted them all and let them rest overnight. I am happy to report that 13 of 15 eggs are developing. I am quite impressed! Skyline did follow up about the packaging and assured me that I would still have a successful hatch. Skyline is top notch and I would not hesitate to purchase from James again.

Yeah, I have 13 growing!

I can now say I know James "Skyline" personally and he stands behind his birds and what he says. I have been talking with him for several months now and had the pleasure to go meet him a while back. I would not hesitate to purchase any breed of bird or eggs from him.

I'm sorry to anyone that I've not replied back to. I've been getting so many emails that I might of not responded back to someone. It's been an absolute mind spin at all the response ive gotten back from this breed. Is it me or is this new BYC format not IPhone friendly? To everyone, thank you so much for believing in this breed and seeing what we've all been experiencing. They're truly amazing! Again, thank you everybody for all your kind words and compliments. Euskal Oiloak Rule!

By me, earlier...
"With the rounded eye, straight beak and wing feather pattern, I see a little pullet. The boys I've hatched from Jame's eggs have a black/white wing feathers instead of black /brown like hers."

On second thought...
Don't put a whole lot of stock in my opinion, one of my pullets just turned into a cockerel, LOL!
