I started hatching shipped eggs last year as I couldn't find any Lav Orps or Silkies near me. So I spent well over $$$$$$$$$$$$ don't even want to say but ended up hatching a nice pair of Lav Orps (diff bloodlines) and 6 Silkies. They are now laying eggs and I am getting a 100% hatch rate, every thing I put in hatches from my own eggs, very exctiting. Was it worth all the $$ I spent on shipping eggs ABSOLUTLEY!!! I now have grandkids

Keep your fingers crossed for me.  I have my first shipped eggs in the incubator right now.  There are two breeds in there I couldn't find locally (or nearly anywhere actually).

 

Congratulations on the grandchicks.

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

 

What breeds do I have?  More than any sane person would own.

I also spent lots of $$$$ on shipped LO eggs. I have 1 maybe 2 pullets just starting to lay. fl.gif I will be hatching their eggs very soon.

Congrats on the 100% hatch rate
