I am unsure of where to post this, so sorry if this is the wrong spot.
I ordered eggs from someone in GA. ALL my birds are from her and they are beautiful, boy I wish I had a camera. Anyway I ordered some seramas and some japanese, she has just done test hatches for fertility and got 100%. When she lived here, I would just ride a mile to her house and get them, but she moved so we shipped. My cochins did wonderful. 24 eggs and 24 developed with 24 hatches, AWESOME. But I just candled shes guys and NO seramas are fertile and only 3 japanese are. She is giving me a refund because we have NO idea why they did so poorly. I am going to watch the incubator to see if the temperature spikes during the day, but I've never had that problem before. It's just so depressing, I really wanted these guys! Shelly said she will bring some chicks up at Christmas, but that's a lonnnnng wait for me.
So do some breeds just ship harder than others? The box was in excellent shape and all, and her packaging was superb
