14 out of 15 is very impressive!

So what do you credit for such good numbers? Fertile flock or good packaging?

Yes, thanks for the explanation. i didn't know splash chicks could out out with such color differences!

Well, I guess we are done hatching. (We meaning mama!) One egg just didn't go, and the other looks like a turtle egg. See below. Can anyone tell me what happenedwith that one?? I guess 5/7 is good for shipped eggs, right?

Sound like you have alot of excitement in store for you soon. I see Happy Chooks responded also. Is she who I saw you with at the Stockton show? I remembered meeting her at your house at the pot luck but wasn't sure if that was her name.
MIne are due to hatch on the 19th ........no splashes though., BCM, Blues, Blue Coppers, whites those are all Marans then I have Delawares & Austrlorps & I think Carrie has some Dark Brahmas in there too. We will be at the Fresno show so my husband is babysitting for us. We just spent the last 2 afternoons building 2 new brooders for the new hatch. Carrie & I intend to come home from the show & try to wing sex the new chicks. If nothing else it should be a riot.....LOL
