EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Phage]

Just set 5 dozen trader Joe fertile eggs.

Sometimes these do well (50% develop) sometimes zilch.

Fingers crossed.

what breed(s)?

Some sort of leghorn cross

Thank you!
I didn't really watch it, so I can't decide how bad his comment was.

It wasn't bad at all. There was a neighbor on the show named Wilson. They never showed his entire face. His face was always hidden from the eyes down by something (usually the fence between the houses).

Good Luck!!!!  what made you set trader joes?  curious

When they hatch they produce an off white bird with grey flecks. Has to be a leghorn cross. The cool thing about them is they are super super mellow, and of course they lay large to x -large eggs every day for what seems like weeks without a break.

Not sure they would deal well free ranging as they are not smart. Not a problem here as any free ranging chook would be bobcat lunch pretty fast. The wildlife take small dogs and any house cats that get out around here.

Ideal has finally got back to me, so good to know, they are MIA over the weekend... they are going to refund cost of chicks and shipping as replacement wouldn't survive in such a small amount of chicks... Works for me, I'm still sad for the cuties who passed though.

Separate note...these little piglet super active babies...hatched out of supposed pink EE eggs(with Americana as part of the description) all hatched identical, chicks dead in shell were identical...first thought: Buff Orpington... After searching their available birds, it looks like that or their "cinimmon queens" Guesses?

Haha, the eBay seller first said send bigger pictures, then after I said eBay limits size, not me, they wrote back that they checked what was sent out that day and many orders of orpingtons were sent, so there is a chance mine got mixed up lol... they are sending me 24 MORE eggs, this time packing it themselves(it's a hobby farm of some sort)... dang it, I thought I was going to shut these incubators down! I gotta find homes for these Orpingtons now... they may grow on me though
