I got my babies and later the rest that came to me so I planned on 6,
Got shorted one (male black runner) a replacement was sent to the person that ordered but didn't make it either...
then got 6 more form the other person that was splitting the order with me. So now I had 11

My 5 white layers 2 are male... GRRrrrrr.

Going to call them Monday- too late in the year for me to try to get babies...

(yes I ordered them sexed)

I bought 12 eggs from Metzer. 13 came TOTALLY unbroken and clean as could be. ALL 13 of them began forming. 10 hatched (3 died due to incubator complications later in incubation)
