DeannaA shipped eggs are a crap shoot....you can't be certain unless you know a little about the breeder that the flock is healthy, not inbred etc...I know when I purchase eggs in super hot weather I'll be lucky to get a few chicks, if you've had temp issues...on and on...it's not your fault!! your hatches will get better
the only reason I ever started buying shipped eggs is because I found it difficult to find some of the breeds of birds I wanted to add to my flock....but my home growns never have issues...I hardly ever have an infertile or a quitter....so what I'm saying is...
with shipped eggs enjoy the ones that you do hatch...build your flock and then breed strong healthy birds!

I have a very hard time finding anything local. Iam slowly build my contact list. It's why I have so many in the incubator. People arestrange where I live. I figured I had better buy some when I find the contact or I probably won't get a response from them in the future. It has been working but I found most of them at one time. I really wanted Isbar, Croad Landshan and Cream Legbars. I found Cream Legbars local, I ordered Croad Langshan they are in the incubator and I have a bid on Isbars that I forgot about. It's over in 40 minutes. If I don't win, I'm not rebidding on any others. I have others I won a week ago that still have not been shipped.

Dea where are you? PM me if you want some very fertile guinea eggs

I'm in Alabama. They would have to travel aways. I did recently find someone local with eggs, unfortunately it was after I had already ordered some online. I think I will buy some new ones locally. But thank you, I appreciate the offer.

okay it's starting....I have one of my silver laced or gold laced silkies zipping!!

Have your chicks call my chicks and tell them that piping is wonderful, I'm up to 11, but some babies in my lifetime would be great! Its been 22 hours aince first pip

 

[epmchickens]

And woohoo!!!!

It's my big week this week I'm anxious to see the results. It's my first ever hatch out. I've got turkey eggs under my chicken and Friday will be 28 days. If it goes past that deadline does it mean they won't hatch?

Quote: local is better! don't worry about the guineas getting out of their shells their little beaks are made for it and when they decide to zip look out lol!

especially under a broody it could go longer because they let them cool sometimes...but it will be with in days not too long ....haha....post pics right away I have red heritage turkey going in this week...I haven't done turkey before...but I've gotten peafowl to hatch so I hope it goes well!!! shh don't tell my husband...as usual he doesn't know about the 100's of eggs I'm expecting this week
