August Hatch-A-Long

[CluckNDoodle]

Those probably didn't fly. I had 100% hatch with shipped eggs in that case at Easter.
What are you hatching?

Buff Laced Polish in this package and possibly some Tolbunt Polish if I win an eBay auction too. The postal lady she gave the box to said they might arrive as soon as tomorrow which would be great! It all depends on how gentle the post office decides to be with the box I suppose and weirdly I've actually had lots of packages go to Florida and then back up to Georgia even when someone mails a card from down the road from me, lol, but hopefully a priority box will be handled more efficiently!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! My eggs were packed really well but 3/15 were broken, one corner of the box was squished I put the remaining 12 in the incubator and they all hatched. I was kind of surprised to be honest.

That's fantastic! It's not common that you get a 100% hatch rate from shipped eggs!

They must be tough! Lol. I really think not having to fly to their destination had an impact tbh. Shipping is hard enough on them without adding that to it.

Stats from yesterday’s hatch.

60 shipped eggs from 2 different breeders.

36 “rare” eggs
26 developed
1 early quitter
4-8 weren’t moving or of ideal size or were moving but sloshy at lockdown
15 hatched

24 Silkie (white) eggs
2 developed
1 quit right before hatch
0 hatched

So... I’m a little disappointed neither Ayam Cemani hatched, but we did get a nice selection of breeds and egg colors (c’mon girls! Lol) from the hatch. I’m having trouble deciphering who is who, but they’re all pretty cute. Sorry for so many pics! Any guesses on the ones with question marks?



1-3 Cream Legbar


4 & 5 Blue Maran


6. Isbar??


7. Silver Spitzhauben??


8. Icelandic??


9. Isbar


10-12 Gold Spitzhauben


13. Pavlovskaya

So sweet! I'm sorry none of your Silkies hatched! That's the worst!
#8 looks exactly like my Cream Legbar Pullets but I'm not familiar with a few of the breeds you hatched so there could be others that look like them at hatch.

Wow! Sorry about the silkies, but congratulations on the rest!!!!

Too bad about the silkies. The rest are adorable though. The Blue Marans look like 1 chick with 4 legs

nice angle!

Shipped eggs drive me nuts. Very few of the ones I ordered even developed. I just shipped out my first ever eggs and spent days trying to find a way to do it and prevent some of the problems that came with the ones I received. All 25 I sent did not break but I am still waiting to hear if any hatch.

I appreciate your effort, and I will let you know.
