I set 12 assorted breeds and 8 hatched. I also set 7 silkies and 6 hatched. Total hatched is 14. Amazingly I had a better hatch rate from the shipped silkie eggs than I had with my local eggs.

Thank you so much for the link. I want to make one now.

4 of my six silkies hatched. I have two eggs to go. One has a pip and the other I don't see a pip but I have seen it move. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I was expecting a low hatch rate because they were shipped but not so. Oh and my dog decided she wanted to be in on the fun and had...

It is just Southern CA and no reported cases in Redding CA.

It took about a week before they could be shipped but I'm not sure why. I didn't know there was a quarantine for that part of CA. I will see what I can find out.

That is good to know. This is the first time I may have a good hatch rate from shipped eggs.

I have 7 silkie eggs that were shipped from Redding CA to me in Eagle Mountain Utah. They are on day 3 today and all look good.
