Mahonri's 2nd Annual BYC EASTER HATCH. Post pics of your chicks!

I have an ethics/moral question. I'm incubating two breeds of eggs from the same shipper. One breed is doing very well, about 80% developing. The other is not doing so well, like 20%. They were shipped in the same box and incubated in the same incubator. I certainly understand that it's a roll of the dice with shipped eggs and do not expect any type of compensation, nor do I believe I'd accept it if offered. My question is, would you let the shipper know? Sure there could be other reasons, but based on the available data, doesn't seem like a fertility issue is possible? If it were me I'd certainly want to know that I might have an issue, but I hear lots of stories on here about the arguments that sometimes ensue. At the moment, I intend to keep my pie-hole shut. I'm just curious what others think.

Yeah but with Linda off for the next few days, I suspect it will be quieter.

Some breeds take shipping a lot better than others, but yes, I would want to know that information as a breeder. Just put it as a "hey, I thought you would like to know" type of message....

Had to put up a picture of my newest "incubator". Bought these 3 last sunday and myteriously the black one started bagging up with milk 2 days later...Might have some goats to add to easter hatch! Also had asked the person I got them from if there was any chance she was pregnant and of course the answer was no. She must have swallowed some babies then cause I can see them moving.
