They didn't ship yours out until the 11th. Apparently they pre-printed labels or stuck stickers on boxes & sent them to reese before they actually shipped. Yours has a 4 day shipping estimate. The other isn't even in the system yet.

We got our package today! We got eggs! Whoever sent the eggs from WV can we know what breeds we got

Well after looking up the egg colors of those breeds we still have one mystery that doesn't really look like any of them. It is a large cream egg with light brown speckles..any idea of what it could be?

lol if it is I hope it hatches hahah I dont think a turkey will go good in our backyard flock! My fiancees aunt has been looking for another turkey so.... if this one hatches we know where to take it!

The quail have now graduated to the bird cage brooder due to the fact that I have spent the past 2 days chasing the 2 older ones around my bedroom every time I turn around. Little stinkers can jump/fly right out of the plastic dresser drawer brooder already. They now need something with a lid. Since I only have 1 brooder light currently available the little ones had to go with them, but since their feet are still so small they are having trouble walking on the wire without falling through. Thus, brooder inside brooder!

Received my eggs yesterday.  All 6 (very varied set of colors) arrived safely.  Only problem was time in transit.  They left the ninth by parcel post.  Let's hope they hatch well.  They rested last night and went in the incubator early this morning.
