I'd purchased 11 BCM eggs and 7 black & white Polish eggs on Ebay. I successfully hatched out 7 BCM's and 4 Polish. I was quite pleased with this since I've been told 50% is good on shipped eggs. So, now I have 15 BCM's. Hopefully I'll find a nice roo out of this bunch (I'd hatched only 2 BCM's out of 10 my 1st hatch and had 6 day old chicks sent to me, 2 of which are blue copper marans and very beautiful). All of my newly hatched Marans have feathered legs and are the cutest so far. The Polish are positively beautiful. My husband thinks a novelty chicken probably wasn't wise since I have so many other breeds too. Let's hope the Polish don't get picked on. I've heard either/or to that. Man those tree frogs are noisy tonight.
