I plan on ordering more eggs from a breeder but she only has 4 hens of the vareity that I want. I want to be able to get as many eggs as posilbe so I was thinking of asking her to send everything that she collects from them in a week. Then there would be 2 day shipping and they would need to set for a day which would make the oldest eggs 10 days old before setting. Is that too old, especially for shipped eggs? I plan on including some of another variety as well but I want as many as posible from the other vareity. Would I be wasteing eggs if I knew that they would be 10 days old and shipped before setting, or would they still have a strong posibilty of hatching? These aren't cheap so I don't want to ask for her to collect for 7 days if the oldest ones don't have much of a chance of hatching anyways, what do you guys think?
Thanks.
Thanks.
