What's very few, 30? 50?

I feel ya. Average hatch rate last year for me was 39%.

 

[TheKindaFarmGal]

my husband says yes

Didn't he say that a long time ago??

Chooks. Most of those hatches were shipped, which is why the poor rate. The first 0% hatch didn't help either.

Oh, ok.

I tried shipped eggs, once. D'uccles. 0% - they took four or five days to get here from far away, and I don't think the way they were shipped helped though they weren't cracked. That was a big disappointment!
