PM Bulldogma. she's my friend locally (well she was till she moved over an hour further away!). she's had excellent hatch results with her shipped eggs so far. she can give you the names of people who've hatched them (besides me LOL) that she's shipped to. I'll be seeing her here, hopefully, in a couple more weeks at the Roanoke swap, to give her the SFH that are due the 18th.
she's been 'practicing' with her incubator and broody-bators, but when she REALLY wants them to hatch they go to me. LOL i'm flattered.
then again i've gotten better than 50% over the last 2 years for (mostly) shipped eggs (including a re-learning curve after not incubating for close to 20 years!), about 90% for local. averaged out to 72% hatch rate over 1100 eggs set, give or take.
and yes, i keep detailed records. LOL including where they came from, breeds, days in the care of usps, condition of package, # set, # fertile, # lockdown, # hatched, average humidity, weather conditions, etc. (i use Excel spreadsheets to keep it all organized)
