🎃October Hatch-a-long 2020🎃

Is this a good breeder generally?

I have had great luck with their eggs! Many people in the last couple months hatch-a-longs have also bought from them and liked them. They are wonderfully packaged and have been good healthy chicks for me. I have gotten 2 batches of Cream Legbars, 1 batch of Isbar, 1 batch of deathlayer, and 1 batch of Gold appenzellar from them...and because my 2nd batch of CCL ended up all cockerels, they threw in extra CCL to make up for it. I would definitely recommend them!

My latest update: Set 5 Salmon Faverolle Bantam and 1 Buff Orpington Bantam in lockdown last night. Woke up to 1 pip already (day 19) - wrong end, so will still be a while before hatch.

Wheaten Marans eggs are still cooking away.

Ordered more eggs..... Lol! So currently waiting for: Tolbunt Polish, Japanese Blacktail bantam, Lavender Americauna, and Pita Pintas. Still need to buy Welsummer.

Thanks. I purchased some eggs from them this year and they sent an unmarked box. It rode around the post office vehicle all day. Left at my gate without notice. Who knows what it went through in transit. I was livid. Glad to hear they are generally much better than what I experienced.

My shipped Light Sussex eggs arrived today. I unpacked them and set them to rest, but i had to go back to work. Got home and just candled them and It's looking good. None detached, just few wobbly and some saddled. So I'm thinking I have a far better chance with these, than the last ones I bought.

Woke up to find all 5 of the Salmon Faverolle Bantam eggs pipped!

Put my Welsummer's in lockdown tonight they should hatch on the 11th. 21 out of 22 eggs made it to lockdown. I had one that looks like it was an early quitter, but the rest are on track to where they should be and look like they should at this point. We will see how many hatch for the first hatch on the new farm.

One duck egg pipped. Next due on 16th. Hood to see my small incubator seems to be running a better temp. Large one eggs would hatch day 26. This one on track for day 28

I've got 12 silkie x eggs in my new incubator. They are at 5 days and I just candled them.
They are from a mix of hens, 3 from my lavender Araucana, 3 from my gold spangled hamburg, 1 from my (wheaten?) faverolles, and the rest from my black mystery mix.

Rooster is Paint. The last two clutches hatched from him he threw exactly 50% paint babies, 50% other colours (mostly black, but a couple goldish and brown ones).

So far all but the gold spangled hamburg are going well and growing veins. Im a little worried about the hamburg eggs, no veins yet. She is new and I had only just seen the rooster start mating with her in the couple days before I got the incubator. Fingers crossed for them!

Today is day 7 for the rare egg mix, and it looks like we have 7 out of 12 that have good growth. 2 have been opened and were not fertile. 3 aren't showing any veins or growth of any kind, and I should probably toss them but . We will see. 7 though, that's pretty good for shipped eggs!
