That batch of egg's arrived in good shape. They pack them well. I went back and ordered some more from the same breeder and they are now on their way to me too.

When I first got bielefelders I got them from skywalker on ebay. I didn't have the best luck with his chickens, but hopefully it goes better for others.
They are beautiful birds! It's very possible I just didn't get a good batch.That's who I just got both batches of mine from.
What kind of problems did you have? I'm not sure I want to try my luck at Hatching any shipped eggs. It's "iffy" from the get go.They are beautiful birds! It's very possible I just didn't get a good batch.
We had good hatch rates, but they had heart issues. We lost them all but a couple in the first two years during periods of excessive heat. They also were the first of my birds and only ones to get an upper respiratory infection. Just wasn't meant to be, I guess, but I did fall in love with the breed thanks to them and start over with bieles. They were a good size and had great personalities.What kind of problems did you have? I'm not sure I want to try my luck at Hatching any shipped eggs. It's "iffy" from the get go.
I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that if I can get any of these to hatch.We had good hatch rates, but they had heart issues.

Hmmm That would definitely deter me from trying to raise them.Thanks!I thought I had read this before and saw a video from another guy but wasn't sure if it was the same breed.Guess it was.We had good hatch rates, but they had heart issues.
