Sorry about the eggs. I hope they make for you all. Fingers crossed. I hate the PO treated them so ruff. I see red after what I paid for shipping. That box was in perfect shape when it left. I may make a few phone calls as well.

No apologies from you! I know you packed them right. It really is a roll of the dice with shipping, it just depends on whose hands they pass thru whether they make it in good condition or not. And I'm not giving up on them yet, they are sitting pointy end down and I'm hoping the air cells can heal a little. How are your's doing?

This broody is a Japanese Bantam, so her chicks will be her size in a few weeks, lol. My two cochins are waiting for your eggs, lol. Funny, all three of these hens went broody this time last year and that was it for them until now. All three are five years old, I think.

I wigged mine this morning before I set them. Each one had a different weight. By far the heaviest was the white peachick! It will be hard for me, but I won't candle for 2 weeks, I think, I think, I think

My eggs are doing well I had three that are doing great. Those other three just didn't make. And u know I have a long way to go but I am crossing my fingers that I will have three pea chicks on the 30th.

Maybe we will have little Pennsylvania peas running around Oklahoma!

I actually think we packed better. The packing was good, no cracks in any eggs at all, so I doubt there is much more we could do.
