I'm so glad your hatch went well! They are beautiful chicks, aren't they? I just love hatching!
From my swaps: the various cochins I got in the mail died midway through the incubation, and the mixed LF I hatched three--but I think I'm doing something wrong with incubation, because I rarely get...
Happymtn, I have three of your eggs pipped and two are zipping along. can't wait to see the little cuties! Two more are fully developed, so we'll see how it goes.
It sounds like we won't be having a swap again for a couple of months because it's so hot. Eggs and 110 degree heat doesn't seem to mix well. Sorry, keep an eye out for another swap in Sept or Oct.
You can always post that you have something specific you want to swap on another thread and see...
Whoops, they're mine! Two were totally smashed and a third had some cracks. I put some wax on it and we'll see how that goes. The others all look good and when I candled a couple of days ago most showed signs of development. (I candled a lot of other eggs too, so I can't remember what the...

Hey what city and when did you send them? bonmur never got any and she's in Utah. Could be they are lost in the mail if you mailed them in the last week. Did you get a tracking #?
Good. I didn't have the right box at home and had to repack them when I reached the post office. I realized a few minutes later that I hadn't marked the box fragile! I'm glad they made it okay, let me know how the hatch goes!

I'm sorry your swap partner never bothered to let you know the eggs arrived, I'm always relieved to find out what condition they arrived in. But we don't have to have the eggs mailed out until tomorrow, so give it a few more days before you get too discouraged about not getting your...
Okay, here's your tracking number, 0103 8555 7498 3484 0145 I'll drop them at the postal hub today! Oh, and one of my BR girls got out and was running around with all the boys the other day, but I sent oodles of extras, plus the bantam eggs, so you should be set!
Amy, Mine came in today. Two were smashed, and a third was cracked, but I'm going to try sealing it with wax and see what happens. The other 7 look great. I'm letting them rest, then I'll get them in the bator tonight.

So what kind did i get huh huh huh?
Do you really want to know? I thought I sent out barred rocks and barred crosses, but that would have included a large number of EE eggs as well, and I don't see anything that looks that color! Either way you're getting barred crosses

It wouldn't bother me to get extras ~wink wink~
The person getting eggs from me is getting LOTS of extras! It makes me feel better about the fact that shipping can make so many of them unhatchable, even if they do start to develop.
My mixes went out today, my pures..I'm going to let some of those extra roo genes faze out and I'll send em in about a week. You know, so they'll be pure.
