Got a package from luvmychicknkids! LOVE the blue easter grass!

Had a few casualties.

A few on the edge lost their bubble wrap protection and crashed into each other. The box was not harmed at all, so they just must have tossed a little. The pures in the box were most excellent! Glad you marked them so I could tell them apart! I am not good at determining the type by the egg coloring yet but the ee are pretty self explanatory with the lovely blue green coloring.

We lost 4 of the 11 mutt eggs leaving 7 to hatch
All 4 of the BLRW were fine
All 5 of the Pure EE were fine

Here they are Thanks so much!!!

Hey Fudgie - I was telling my 'chicken buddy' about your project today. (he is 91 years old! And a longtime family friend), he offered some of his Old English Game Bantam eggs. He has Self Blue, Silver Ginger, and Millie Fleur OEGB. He also has Golden Sebrights. I can offer a few silkie eggs, they are purebred, but all my colors are in the same coop so mixed colors. I also can send a couple of silkie showgirl eggs. Have you seen showgirls? I understand if you don't want them, some people really don't like them. My showgirls are just starting to lay. My Showgirl pen has a silkie rooster covering showgirl hens, so the eggs could hatch out either silkie or showgirl, they are white

Sorry some broke. The tape I was using didn't seem very sticky....maybe from being so cold while the power was out. Glad most of them made it alright though.

Honestly the tape stuck around the middle, the eggs just slipped right out the bottom of the sleeve. I think if you had tape on the other open ends it would have worked. It is ok, I did not notice until I picked up the ewwie gooey one. It bit the dust and bad... the others just had a peck in them like they rolled into another egg. 4 is not bad to loose. And we will still do ok on them.

It is just another example to show the kids!

what happens sometimes when you ship eggs! No body's fault just stuff happens.
