They. Are. HERE!!!!!! First set are from @Papa Brooder, with Papa's Poultry. Jeff- you rocked it! Not one crack! Thank you!!! We have Bielefelders, Crested CL, BBs Marans and Mottled Lavender Orpingtons, along with some surprises from the rainbow pen! Can't wait!!!

These are our cross country babies...5 Marans eggs were cracked

. However, all frizzles and lavender Orpingtons were intact. They were wrapped in packing paper only, shipped Fed Ex ground.

Adding some Vital Farms eggs I got at Target, along with some silkies from our new friend from down the road, @Jessimom... We are setting tomorrow for a Feb. 6th hatch day. HOWEVER... we are thinking about pushing set to Monday to get a Thursday hatch day- so we can have the weekend (I have Thursdays and Fridays off)... Thoughts?

I think they will have the best chance if you set them as soon as you can.

Target sells eggs? Would that be the chain dept. store, similar to Walmart?

Yes- Vital Farms. They don't say fertile, but, I've consistently seen bullseye a in a 10:12 ratio

Didn't see your post sally

No a duccle rooster got beat up from the serama! Through a divider! I added wood to the bottom half and they have calmed down. The serama has one "cut" on his comb and one on his wattles. Not bad, since the duccle took most of the brunt
