Well, the air cells on the three eggs I have left alive in this latest batch of Bantam Cochins are all....funky. They sort of go way down on one side. So, I think it is something with shipped bantam eggs.
The good news is, I've been talking with the seller, and if these three don't hatch, I'm going to get another batch for a very good price. She offered to replace them for the cost of shipping, but it wasn't her fault, it was the USPS - I'd feel bad taking them for nothing. As someone who ships eggs myself, I don't think she should have to be giving eggs away because the USPS screwed up. So, we'll see if these three pull through.

That's great! What are the three you have left? I'm debating on pm'ing Scott & seeing if I can get 6 more black cochin eggs from him before he gets rid of his blacks. I only have two of his that have made it this far. I candled last night & everyone's still going strong. I don't know if my 3 will make it through to the end because they are a few days behind & lock-down is tomorrow for the rest of the batch. I'm going to leave them in & see what happens.



Hurray on the pips all!!!

They're supposed to be Columbian Cochins - they're from the same breeder as the last batch. Remember how some of them turned out funny-colored? Turns out, she just discovered that a pair of birds was misplaced last fall - she's working on a "Coronation" (Lavender Columbian) project, and it looks like a few of my chicks got the Lavender gene and are going to be Coronation Cochins!

I'm taking her up on her offer and getting another batch of eggs, because I'd love to be involved in this color project!

Yes - definately see if you can get some more eggs from Scott! If I wasn't so intrigued by the Columbians and Coronations now, I'd be rushing to get some before it's too late too! In fact, he has an auction here on the site for 6 of them right now!

Yay!

How many eggs are due today/tomorrow? Are these your BLRW?

 

[fordmommy]

9 babies so far. 2 pips. There are 13 more eggs total to go but some are not due until tomorrow and Thursday.

I got 2 BLRW. I am thinking that they are both splash.

 

[fordmommy]

I have 14 babies today. One more pip. 4 LATE quitters. And 3 Lavender Ameraucana eggs due Thursday. (3 out of 8 that is

)

I'll keep you all posted and will get pics soon......It's the law.

[Sweetfolly]

14 babies is great!

Waiting on pictures!

 

[fordmommy]

This is Mistery Chick.
