Wht exactly is a showgirl? I think I know, but I am not too sure... it's a silkie X turken, right?

Does anyone here breed feather legged standards? Aside from silkies?

Ok, here is what hatched-

5 New Hampshire and 3 OEs out of 8 eggs sent from Rockinpaint, a 100 percent hatch!!

1 Silkie and 1 showgirl out of 9 eggs sent from 9catsz. Most of the eggs died around day 17.

4 Light Brahmas out of 15 eggs sent from bigdawg. The box was damaged by the P.O, and a few eggs were smashed. P.O-

But still very happy with the Light Brahma chicks.

Just lockdowned 2 Icelandic eggs and 6 out of 12 shipped Araucana eggs.

CONGRATS TO ALL who have chicks hatch!!

It was fun!!

Whoa, is it really that easy to ship eggs? How much is the postage usually?

Well I still have a bunch of pages to catch up but looks like Peep_Show is the winner of my First Chick After Midnight comp. Congratulations!

Wow! Thanks! Perhaps my luck has changed with the new year...this is a nice start. Let me know if/when it's official. I'd like to thank The Academy and the sponsors, but most of all little Bravo who really pulled through when asked to. A fuzzy inspiration to us all... As are ALL the chicks that have participated! Congratulations hatchers one and all on a fine looking crop of fuzzlings

"What do you mean...I"M THE ONLY ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS!!!!", shouted the splash barnie chick as he realized he's the only one who's white!

Depends on the size of the box, which can depend on the number of eggs. All shippers I've bought from sent them in the Flat Rate USPS boxes (I'd quote a price, but I think rates are changing this week sometime). Eggs are usually individually wrapped (bubble wrap, newspaper) and then sometimes put in egg cartons, but a vast majority of eggs I've gotten have them free floating in some sort of box filler (peanuts, shredded newspaper).

Just depends on how far you're sending, how many and type of shipment. Usually costs me between $13 and $17 for shipping. Then there's also the cost of materials, but I've had better luck with wrapping in paper than bubble wrap, so usually use newspaper.
