I can't wait for it to warm up. I am not getting enough eggs on a reliable basis to swap

My goose just started laying though. Crazy! I have a few EEs laying every other day or so but everyone else is taking a winter break. I love my chicks from the last swap I did and am hoping to swap again later on.

 

[what was i thinking]

i think i am going to have to take my self out of the swap. it is going to be in singal digits next week. thanks away... i am very sorry.

In my experience, it seems like eggs that are going north and south or south and north do better this time of year. I sent some to PA from KY, and they didn't do any good at all. I have gotten some from TN and SC that arrived just fine.

It's supposed to be very cold here through next week. It's -4 right now and the cold hasn't started yet.

The only 100 per cent hatch my Coppers came to me in below zero weather, as long as they don't freeze, I think they fare better than when they get stalled in transit and get too warm.

As long as you all think it's okay, I'll try it. I have this weeks eggs to pitch into the box just in case. I'll go get another heat lamp for the girls so they won't freeze up on me. Sorry...never shipped eggs before.
