I beleive my last has hatched - still one with a little hope another three I put in lockdown but didn't see any movement for about a week before, but you never know!
My count now is:
9 Australrops
4 bantam cochins
So, it looks like out of 32 SHIPPED eggs I had 13 make it and another 4 that were pretty well developed but something happened. So, I am going to call it a 53% success rate for viability & 48% hatch success. Granted the breakdown is: 9 of 12 (75%) blk. Australorps & 4 of 20 (20%) bantam cochins.
Which assuming all 13 make it it averages out that I pd. @ $5.70ea. I can live with that and very pleased with: 1st ever purchase of eggs and 1st ever shipped eggs.
Hahaha - sorry I am somewhat anal about these kinds of thing and it helps me justify, if only to myself
, what I pd. for the 32 eggs.
Promise pics later tonight after last two get moved to brooder.
