we also went crazy and bought from 3 different people -

12 Lav orp - 4 hatched - 8 blanks - one died two days later
12 welsummers - 4 hatched - 7 died in shell - one blank
12 lav orp - 1 died early in shell -the rest blank

spent close to 150 dollars and we have 7 chicks....

i don't think we will by shipped eggs again...

WOW!! That's a bummer.. Yeah I refuse to pay much for my shipped eggs.. If I plan on buying anything REALLY fancy or expensive, they had better be within driving distance. I am sorry you had such a bad hatch.

I am doing "ok" with mine.. they are in lockdown... The odd thing is, my friend that drove and picked up a dozen Silkie eggs only had 3 that were fertile. Two were early quitters (blood ring) and then the last 1 is developing under her broody.

I bought 2 dozen but got lots of extras. I had 18 come from a lady in WV and she sent BLRW and Blue Wheaten Marans and then another lady sent 15 Lt and Dark Brahma's. Out of those 33 I currently have 24 that are in lockdown. 21 in my bator and 3 under my friends broody. A few clear, a few quitters... I guess that's why sellers always try to send LOTS of extras. Total I spent like $45.00. They all were looking pretty good at last candle, however I had a lot of loose and misshapen air cells. I have heard this could but doesn't necessarily affect the hatching of the chick. Let's HOPE NOT!!

I'll keep you guys posted.

I lost 10 so far. Only one was blank, a few blood rings - I only have one lavender left. I am only on day 12 so we will see how many actully hatch.
