He's going to be Lonely Now what do I do?

I'm so sorry yours didn't go better, I just feel like kicking my own butt cause I took the eggs she was sitting on EE's , all fertile and all growing and gave her these eggs. I just hate wasting money! LOL I could have at least had an Omelette had I just known and got something out of it, An EXPENSIVE omelet but at least it would have been something! LOL

Thanks. It's just how things go with shipped eggs sometimes.

No butt kicking! Your eggs would have hatched later and she'd still have a lonely chick for a few days. I liked ClareScifi's story of her only-child rooster. It's not easy raising a lone chick unless you're able to be around them a lot.

Oh I know I'm just being a whinner. LOL Unfortunetly I don't even got a single good egg to show for it (Unless a miracle happens and the 8 I gave her back decides to develope). I doubt it but stranger things have happened!) I knew the shipping risk when I ordered them, so I just got to suck it up And try again with the eggs I got coming soon from another breeder,I have ordered eggs from them before but its been several years ago , all the eggs were fertile but It was my first time hatching with an incubator and my hatch went horribly wrong with temp and moisture and all but 2 died in the shells or couldn't get out of the shells at hatch and died, and I had to peel the two I got out of their shells( they were shrink wrapped in) and saved them. I don't blame the seller of the eggs, she said she hatched eggs out from the same pen my eggs came from and I have no reason to disbelieve her so......Maybe Her Hens were giving her Rooster the cold shoulder before she shipped the eggs, Who knows what happened!? LOL I will just Try Try Again! LOL
