Anyone else have hatching eggs coming the first week of March? :)

Great news!

Did your eggs get to you safely? Sure hope so, I've only ordered once but after all the suspense I wasn't thrilled with them. 1/3 infertile, porous shells, small pullet eggs and it took almost a month for them to get sent.

I'm sorry for your experience you should give it another chance!

All of my eggs got to me completely safe and intact, I set them Wednesday at 8:20pm and I admittedly candled a few today quickly even though I know I shouldn't have. All the ones I candled had good looking air cells and will do a full candling on day 7, Wednesday. Shipping is really my only option though, we don't have much locally and what we do have is just of inferior quality....otherwise I would love to drive locally and grab some nice quality chicks or eggs!

How are your babies doing? New pics!!??

YIPPEE!!! Glad they got to you safely.

I'm in the same situation with quality eggs. Not many breeders here close but I've found some in Northern CA-amazing assortment of breeds. Real enabaling group of people, not that I need any help adding birds.

This is the new gang a week ago. Need to get some new ones though, they grow so fast!
I'll be loading again on the 14th so I should have some hatching when my 87 y.o. MIL is here, she keeps asking me to bring the chicks to her. City girl with no clue.

Everyone standing in the feed bowl:

LOL the feed bowl picture is so cute!

Today is day 7, candling day!

Good luck on the candeling! Hope shipping was good to them.

I thought it was cute also, they are to big to do that now. I'm headed out for a fan and turner for the bator today. Need to reset temp. after the equipment upgrade, but hoping to re-load tomorrow.

Candled today..
24eggs developing out of 33...2 RIR eggs I just can't see through.
14 silkies and 10 Heritage rhode island reds.

I wired in the fan when I got home today and I've had temps of 116° & 122°. So much for that upgrade.

Oh no! That's not good I'm sorry!

I've disconnected the fan, just locking in the temp again now. It'll be fine, just some extra work.
