Hi! How are your orpingtons laying? The ameraucanas and the legbar I hatched from you are adorable. Almost 2 months. Legbar is getting her crest. Lol. Mini mohawk.

All but the gold laced and lemon cuckoos are laying. Still confirming fertility on some.

have you shipped any all the way to FL? How did they fare, if so?

I have shipped to FL many times. Honestly sometimes the placest furthest away do better than eggs sent within CA. I think in state all eggs travel via truck, but they will probably get on a direct flight from Sacramento to FL. Last season, I had amazing results shipping to NY so much that a few people ordered 4-5 batches of eggs as they kept hatching at 80-100%, which is crazy for shipped eggs. I can't recall specifically how any FL shipments did but I would say at least 50%. For me, that's what I consider a successful hatch on shipped eggs when I am purchasing them. Anything else I get is a BONUS! There are so many variables, it just can't be predicted, but give it a shot and we will see how it goes!!

They are almost all laying except for the lemon cuckoos, one of my jubilee pens and gold laced. And interestingly enough their pens face the same direction. I believe everything else is laying and many are confirmed for fertility.

Do you include heat packs at all?

I don't generally. I can if you would like. I ship chicks with 72 hour heat packs so I have them on hand. It will just add a bit to the shipping and I would probably double box with the heat pack in the outer box.
