Ko Shamo & Bantam Asil lockdown day?

[MysteryChicken]

I'm so nervous. You'd think this is my first go-round at hatching! Then again, I suppose it is for this particular breed. I've wanted these for so long, so the anticipation is doing me in. Shipped eggs are such a gamble, I began with 8, and cringe every time I have to pull a dud or a quitter.

I started with 12 Malay eggs, I had 3 duds, & 1 quitter. So I had 8 eggs left. 7 chicks hatched out of the 8, which is actually pretty good. My eggs were shipped within one day, so that helped.

Yes that is common but it's not anything u ate doing it happens, I bought millie eggs and not to many hatched and I'm very experienced hatching eggs I understand as it is frustrating

Just had 4 Asil & shamo eggs hatch out of 24 from eBay. Not great success rate but better than nothing! Where are you based by the way?

I'm just outside of Huntsville, TX

I had a dozen Ko-Shamo eggs shipped. Paid $140 for them, and not a single egg developed. I was lucky that the Breeder shipped out 14 more, free of charge. They just went into the incubator on Friday, so we'll see what happens this time around. I'm pretty experienced with hatching out shipped eggs, but this year my hatch rate has dropped drastically. USPS has been worse than ever.

I was born in Ontario, Canada, raised in England until my early teens when we moved back to Ontario (Chatham-Kent area), and married an American 20 years ago. Been in the US ever since... And yes, I'm legal

I married a American as well, but we stayed in Canada, he is dual citizen

Ahh I see, quite along way from the sunny shores of north east England!

Sunny shores? I'm not sure I ever recall a time when the sun was shining while I was living in England.
