Anyone have a single chick hatch from shipped eggs? *Now with Pics!!*

My worst hatch was 3 dozen eggs from one place - only 4 survived!

I spent about $130 for the 36 eggs.

I have had 6 of 7 hatch and 6 of 12 hatch. I currently have 15 of 16 polish growing...

Yes I have one. The first batch of shipped eggs from this seller didn't hatch any and they sent me more for the cost of shipping. Then there was only 1 that hatched. I also had a silkiies that hatched a week before so he has a friend.

All the Time just hatched out 1 Favorolle last week it's worth $20.00, 1 silkie the week before and think the silkie worth that to.

I had just one chick hatch from a dozen Cochin eggs. The rest of the eggs didn't even develop at all. I guess they didn't ship well. The chick is one of the kids favorites.
We call him the 25.00 chick. I knew if only one hatched it was going to be a roo. I will probably just give him away since I didn't really want a roo of this breed.

I recently had 1 out of 17 quail eggs hatch. They were from a swap, so didn't cost me much and it was probably my fault

I have had zero hatch and I have had them all hatch. But the worst was I fried about 3 dozen eggs in my bator and they had all been growing. Check out my chick pics. Click on my page and then the link at the bottom. Too cute.

I had 48 out of 55 bobwhite quail eggs hatch in January. It was my first hatch with my incubator, so I was happy.

Until the cat found that he could move the top of the incubator and all those filbert sized mini-mcnuggets would just jump into his waiting arms. I ended up with 27 survivors.

Iv paid for $22 of nothing before...Somtimes they are just too rough on shipped eggs but in my case it was how they was packed.

Happend to me twice. One time only one serama hatched, the other time four hatched two died right away and one managed to get under the metal grid and died. SO this left me with another single SG.

I've had none hatch. One hatch. Most hatch and all hatch at different times.

The one hatch I had to run out and get friends for.

Incubating shipped or my own eggs. It's always going to be some different. Now I can include our own eggs so any singles will at least have a buddy or two.

My last shipped batch had disasterous air cells despite PERFECT packaging, but four of them made it any way. Luck of the draw sometimes.

Hope for better luck for you on the next batch.
