3rd Annual New Year's Day Hatch!!

[Peep_Show]

Shipped eggs are kind of a mixed bag. I've had both excellent and disappointing results from eggs sent near and far. I liken it to eating out in restaurants. The big chains are predictable, but often times subpar as far a quality. The little Mom-and-Pop places can really surprise you. And sometimes the most expensive isn't the best.

The last batch of eggs I had was from cross-country and the hatch rate was 18 out of 22. This time I'll be lucky with 18 out of 32.

Dang... Now I'm hungry.

Laree, Mahonri, and everyone else who lost eggs/chicks/chickens I am so sorry.

I am still celebrating finding my girl last night.

I wish I were still in on the hatch but I am cautiously optimistic about hatching emu eggs the second week in January.

OH NO!! I'm so sorry!! I had two super early quitters in my batch too, but all the rest are doing awesome. Which one is left? Shipped eggs are such a bear!

Candled some of my silkie eggs. I had two that I could tell were clear the rest looked like they had babies because they were so dark i couldn't see much. I would assume they were dark because the baby was formed right?
