I've incubated about 35 or so shipped eggs, and only 1 has ever hatched!I want to order some $75 a dozen eggs, but not til I start getting the darn things to hatch better! Grrr
What kind of incubator do you have?
I had terrible luck with shipped eggs until I got the Brinsea. I use it for the shipped eggs, and get some pretty good hatches now. Well, most of the time.
Yes the Brinsea is expensive (I saved up for months to get mine), but when you consider the money you spend on eggs that hatch poorly in a cheap incubator, a Brinsea soon pays for itself.
