You come to the right place.

We're very good at enabling. Where do you live and what breed do you like? Most people will ship eggs but not chicks.

Yes, the Post Office called early this morning.  I picked up 15 chicks  7 Salmon Faverolle and 8 EEs.  And 12 eggs - she sent 2 extras.  A little disappointed though, there were suppose to be 10 sky blue eggs - Blue Black + Splash Ameraucanas, but they were a very pale blue, nothing special.  And 4 were green.  When I question her - she said they lightened up since the Spring and she thought only the 2 extras were green.  I told her I would post a picture she said she didn't care she wasn't selling anymore on Ebay.  Now she selling on Facebook.   I really thought I was going to get the egg color she posted in the picture.      I guess I will find out in December.   So I let them sit for almost 12 hours and then at 7pm I put 31 in the incubator.  I omitted a badly cracked one.  Three things I'm doing differently this time.  Because they were shipped eggs, I'm not going to turn them until after I candle on Day 7.  And I am keeping the vent closed as suggested by "Hatching Chickens 101".  My temp has held steady at 99.6 degrees and humidity is 52%.  And I marked, weigh and logged every egg.  Who else has started their hatch?

Great! Hope you have good luck with your shipped eggs, sorry you are disappointed the shade of blue isn't what you expected.

Set my 48 eggs on the 23rd, 42 in one incubator and 6 others in another. Figure when i candle on the 7th day there will be enough infertile and no-grows that there will be room for all the eggs in just one of them. Keeping temp. @99.5 degrees and humidity 30%, doing the dry incubation method, which i had better luck with on the last batch of call duck eggs.

I also do the dry incubation method. And have only had sticky chicks when humidity was 45%-55%. An excellent hatcher on BYC gave me this article when I started hatching and it helped tremendously.

Also, I've had to setup 2 incubators for only a handful of eggs and then condense to one after the initial candle. It's great to have 2. You can use one as a hatcher or space out one set. If you need to do an assist, having a second bator is great so you don't have to keep opening up the one with pips.

Good luck to everyone. I'm thinking about ordering some more eggs next week!

Candled my eggs today, all of the Bresse eggs were fertile, and most of the Marans and Olive Eggers fertile. Went on ebay and left feedback that eggs were fertile. I always leave a positive feedback if the eggs arrive properly packaged, but i always wait until after candling to leave feedback on the fertility.

Would anyone sale turkey pouts

 

[Joyryder]

Uh-oh, you must be down to 1 incubator, you need more eggs.

I have to wait until Friday to candle.

I candled my orloff eggs (I'll admit, I didn't use the best flash light or method) and the four I candled didn't appear to be fertile. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait and see. I really want orloffs, and I hope these eggs hatch.
