@PippinTheChicken that sounds like a pretty good hatch rate for shipped eggs.
I set 7 in my little bitty Brinsea. 2 weren't fertile but I can't blame the rooster, he is 3years and has a lot of ladies. Out of the 5 left, 4 have hatched. I'm not holding out too much hope for the 5th one. I thought it had pipped but it just had a little shell on it from another egg.
Baby pics!
This one is the ee x olive egger
These 3 are ee x (dark) brahma, although I do have a light brahma pullet and a buff, as well. I'm guessing based on egg size.
@BDutch I have much better success hatching inside and giving them to the hens to raise. My hens are good mothers but lousy at hatching. Although, Maris (above) and her sister Mavis, have both had fair hatch rates when secluded.
