DECEMBER Hatch-A-Long!😊

[LadiesAndJane]

I have posted listings for quail eggs & call duck eggs. Hopefully someone buys them and can participate. I have never ever shipped eggs before so I hope it goes well.

My experience with receiving shipped eggs has been that the ones that are individually wrapped in bubble wrap, and double boxed seemed to be less saddled and have better hatch rates! Good luck with your new adventure! ☺

I plan on bubble wrapping the eggs. Didn’t even think about double boxing. But I should do that!

Makes a big difference. I hatched a slew of shipped eggs this past Spring and double boxed eggs fared so much better. Some kind of padding between the boxes (crumpled newspaper even) also helps. ☺

Awesome ideas thank you so much

I hope so too. Just because I think it’d be really cool to try.

Well I have eggs in the incubator but I joined the November hatch group. I just got them in so if all goes well I suppose the 4th is their hatch date does that mean I fall under December or November hatch group?

I joined the December hatch. They hatch December 3rd I have 12 eggs; let’s see how many hatch. Last hatch 4 days ago yielded 70 percent hatch rate.
