I have welsummers.  I'm about an hour east of Sacramento.  I do ship eggs as well.

I only would want two chicks. I don't want roosters I have other chicks right now a little over a week old but looking for two well summers to complete my flock want to get them all about same age and ASAP so I don't have problems putting them together.

I also wish hatching luck to all! I am getting duck eggs today. It is a first time shipper so I am nervous.

I have been getting egg referals and am getting tired of cutting bubble wrap. Im debating between the pouches and going back to home depot for pipe insulation. Do I remember something bad from the great egg shipping experiment about the pouches? I am also saving up for after eadter plastic eggs for serema and silkie eggs. My best hatches were from those.

I use the bubble wrap pouches and have had really good luck shipping them that way.

I don't have any chicks available right now, but I do have 2 4-month old pullets that are available to a layer only flock. They are breeding culls, so they need to go to a pet only home. Local pickup only.

Definitely too big...unless you found the big plastic eggs.  I don't ship eggs anyway, but in case I ever do that is good to know.    I actually though they were being incubated that way....  

If the pladtic was food grade you could cook them that way with flavor!

We just had 149° eggs out of the sous vide poached in shell. Fantastic but I missed the sri ratcha sauce I usually squirt on the whites.

They should have plastic eggs at the various dollar stores right now. Or right after Easter would be a great time to buy them! Love the after holiday sales!!

Okay, I just cannot picture the benefit to plastic eggs for shipping. Can someone help me out?

what is SBEL?

Probably Super Blue Egg Layers.

They are usually Blue Egg Layers crossed with Leghorns and lay a lot of eggs. The UofA blues that I have are like that.

I have seen it used to refer to Cream Leg bars crossed with Araucana based breeds--The Blue egg shell gene is different on the two breeds, so you will get chicks with two types of blue egg shell genes, which will make two colors of blue and hopefully a brighter blue color.

I want to see those egg though to see if it is true!

Don't they make those "Eggies" things you can cook them in?

This is a pet only home. This is my first flock. I'm worried about mixing the older girls with my chicks when they no longer need to be under the light. I'm not sure how to mix them without having problems.
