I hope they turn out well, too. I want to hear the sound of your rooster crowing.

Who sold you the ketawa eggs?Update: As I feared/suspected, no Ketawas hatched, only 2 attempted to develop. The seller took down all his auctions, and there are a number of sold listings that never received feedback, so I guess I'm not the only one.
But I did have 4 Lavender Ameraucanas hatch successfully; two others tried, but did not make it past pip. Out of the 10 eggs I got from the seller, 1 was infertile, 1 was a blood ring on day 3, 2 quit between days 14-18, and 6 made it to pip. The seller was Edgewood Acres Poultry, and I was very impressed with the eggs and shipping (which was more than twice as far as the Ketawa eggs.)
My 8 spitzhauben eggs were picked up locally, and I think the hens were young, because some of the eggs weren't "normal" (i.e., size/weight/shape). In the end, I had 4 pip and 2 successfully hatch. 1 was infertile, three late blood rings, 1 pipped internal but not external, one pipped and died while I was out (only for an hour!), and of course, two made it. The lady gave me two chicks because she didn't have all 10 eggs I paid for, so I'm good with that one.
Next up: 3 possible colors of Spitzhauben from Greenfire(!), BBS and White Ameraucanas.
I went from 1 incubator to 4 in three weeks (estate sale), and now I've got a lead on a GQF cabinet locally. I need to find an AA meeting (that's Ameraucana Alliance, right?)

I think it depends on where you are. I haven't had any problems at all with USPS, I sell and ship things all the time. The Texas processing centers are great, I can count on one hand the number of damaged packages I've had in the last 30 years (UPS and FedEx are a different story though). The only places I've ever had shipments to buyers lost or mishandled are Canada and stuff that went through the Chicago processing center. (Never a problem with Canada and USPS or UPS, but always with FedEx.)USPS has turned to garbage . I had eggs that were shipped over night USPS it took 11 days to get them . They sat in Wisconsin for 5 days . I rested them then placed them in the incubator 10 days later 0 development a total loss . That much I can tell you .
