Do you want them to get there Saturday? I can mail them out in the morning....

I'd say better in my hands for the weekend than the post office's, honestly! So, um, yes please?

Thank God. I was beyond broke before I ordered two egg turners today!! For which, my cats remind me, I had better not be paying with their food money...

I most definitely have all girls at this time

Thanks for the information and pictures. It's better if you have a visual!

Hey, no fair! I cry FOWL! I hatched 10 NJs a couple of weeks ago and only one was a girl. I'm so happy for you though! Glad to know there are still girls to be had from my eggs.
As if that wasn't bad enough, only two of 8 CCLs in the same hatch were girls. So who got all my CCL girl eggs?

ok so will I be able to tell the difference between the NJs and CCL when they hatch? If not I need to switch them around a bit...

nvm they do look somewhat different

Those are what I've been after forever but they look a little young to be shipped alone.

I've never shipped anything, so I wouldn't know.

Well, shoot. I was all set to say silver-laced barnevelder, but it's decidedly not. Not with the black legs, beak, and eyes...
